Read ebooks Boeing B-52 Stratofortress: 1952 onwards (all
marks)--Owner's Workshop Manual
By Steve Davies
The eight-engine Boeing B-52 Stratofortress jet was the USA?s first long-range,
swept-wing heavy bomber. It began life as an intercontinental, high-altitude
Cold War nuclear bomber. With each new variant the B-52 increased in range,
power and capability, seeing active service in the Vietnam War, both Gulf Wars
of 1991 and 2003, and over Afghanistan in 2001. Author Steve Davies recalls its
combat history, gets up close to look under the skin of the B-52, and talks to the
flight crews and maintainers of this legendary aircraft.
