Aeroplane | B-52 Stratofortress
On April 15, 1952 the first flight of America’s newest warplane – Boeing’s enormous B-52 Stratofortress - took place from the company’s airfield outside Seattle, Washington.
Almost 70 years later the B-52, a utilitarian weapon of war, has acquired near-mythical status after a career spanning more than half the 118 years of manned flight, with no end in sight. Indeed, it seems likely that the last B-52s, built more than 60 years ago, will carry on until they have chalked up their century!
B-52 Stratofortress, a 116-page special brought to you by the makers of Combat Aircraft Journal, is a complete guide to this legendary aircraft and includes a revised and updated full database.
