Rockwell International built four B-1A bombers in the early seventies, but Nixon stopped financing the project and they had to stop the production.
about ten years later, Reagan ordered 100 B-1B Lancers. in the mean while, Rockwell International was taking over by North American Aircraft and they built the B version.
after that, North American Aircraft became, just as lots of other aircraft builders, in the hands of Boeing.
