B-52H Language:English Format:Paperback Dimensions:8.27" x 11.7" Pages:132 Publisher:Key Publishing ISBN:9781802823387 Item No. 9781802823387 This eagerly awaited publication examines the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress not as a ‘historic aircraft type’ but as a current USAF weapons system – the spearhead of the USAF’s Global Strike Command. We concentrate on the latest model, the B-52H, and in particular the type’s combat record since the end of the Cold War. The 116-page special examines what the type is engaged in today, and what the USAF is doing to keep it viable through to 2050, when it is finally planned to retire. B-52 includes detailed histories of every unit that operates the B-52H, with flying suit badges and aircraft insignia, and individual aircraft histories, too.
