The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is not only one of America's most famous aircraft, but also one of its most feared. The legendary heavy bomber, capable of dropping or firing a wide variety of weapons from the US arsenal, including nuclear weapons, has been in front-line service since the mid-1950s. This first edition of the Air Power series presents a carefully researched history of this impressive war machine, illustrated with photos from the B-52's long career. From the early years of the Cold War to the dangerous bombing raids of the Vietnam War to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the B-52 has given the US Air Force an unrivalled ability to bring death from above to America's enemies. This publication covers the military deployment of the B-52 and its numerous modernisations over the decades, as well as its role as an important research platform for NASA. With a planned engine upgrade programme, the B-52 is expected to remain in service beyond 2050, making it the longest-serving military aircraft in history. Author David Reynolds rounds off his profile of the B-52 with a look at the future of the Buff.
