In the early days of the Cold War, bombers served primarily as a nuclear deterrent. Until the early 1990s, strategic bombers were in the air 24 hours a day, able to attack enemy targets at any time with little warning. Today, the bombers are mainly used in the conventional role. Famous aircraft such as the mighty eight-engine Boeing B-52 or the supersonic B-1 (both USA) or their Russian counterparts like the TU-95 and the Tu-22M2/3 are only the most prominent examples. Heiko Thiesler presents all the world's important bombers in words, pictures and tables.
