Product Review

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was initially
deployed in 1955 as a strategic nuclear bomber.
During the Cold War era, it was the backbone of the
Strategic Air Command. The combination of superior
performance, the ability to fly for extended periods
of time, and its low operating costs have made the
Stratofortress a valuable asset to the US Air Force.
It has proven to be a formidable weapon in various
conflicts for more than half a century, from the Cold
War and Vietnam to the Gulf War. The B-52 remains
a legendary bomber, with a sterling record and many
years of service remaining.
