I've seen the JB-1 glider demonstrator at the Western Museum of Flight. More info on the JB-1 is available at:

NOTE: Assertions that the powered JB-1 was designated JB-1A are not borne out by USAAF/USAF documents, and the designation JB-1B for an revised version of the JB-1 was not an official designation.
