SS10207 B-52G/H Stratofortress in Action (Paperback)
by Kenneth P. Katz.

More than any other weapon system, the legendary Boeing B-52
Stratofortress is the embodiment of American military power in
the popular imagination. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of
the B-52 has been its longevity. The B-52 first flew in 1952 and
entered operational service with the U.S. Air Force in 1955.
Boeing delivered the last B-52 in 1962. Five decades later, the
B-52 remains in front-line service, most recently taking part in
combat over Afghanistan and Iraq. Even more amazingly, current
plans are for the B-52 to remain in service until 2040. This
volume is packed with historical and recent photographs of the
B-52, including some that were released by the U.S. Air Force and
its contractors just for use in the book. As part of his
research, the author flew on a B-52 training mission, and the
flight report in this volume is the most detailed description of
a B-52 mission ever published. Illustrated with color profiles,
detailed line drawings, and over 190 photographs. 88 pages.
