PRESERVING PEACE
FlyPast April 2026 documents the Cold War power of America’s Strategic Air Command (SAC). As April marks the 80th anniversary of its formation, Malcolm V Lowe charts the history of that global nuclear force. Equipped with such mighty machines as our cover star, the B-47 Stratojet, plus the B-36 Peacemaker, B-58 Hustler and the B-52 Stratofortress, SAC was a major force in ‘keeping the peace’ in the aftermath of World War Two.
