Synopsis

How was it built? What developments were necessary for its manufacture, and what were the weapons specifically designed by its enemies to bring it down from the skies? Trigger times when it came close to cancellation, upgrades and new engines for the B-52J. The weapons it carried across those 70 years, the very different targets against which it was assigned, and the changing nature of the US Air Force in which it shaped new ways of waging war, itself an influence on strategic thinking – are all explained in simple and understandable terms.
