Product Details
Overview
An illustrated account of the development and operations of the B-47 Stratojet, one of the most influential aircraft of the Cold War.
The B-47 Stratojet was the most numerous jet bomber to ever serve with the USAAF's Strategic Air Command (SAC), and arguably Boeing's most significant aircraft. Initially plagued by design and production problems, it eventually proved to be a capable medium-range bomber, an influential testbed, and an effective reconnaissance platform, paving the way for the successes of the B-52 and the KC-135. The Stratojet also provided SAC with crucial lessons – sometimes at the cost of lives – that moved operations such as aerial refuelling, combat tactics, global reconnaissance and strategic deterrence from the glacial pace of World War 2 into the jet age of the Cold War.
This detailed new study sees Stratojet expert Mike Habermehl draw upon more than 50 years' research to assemble a complete operational history of the B-47 in all its roles. First-hand accounts and archive photographs are combined with SAC correspondence, documents, and manuals, helping to bring to life the fascinating story of this profoundly influential aircraft.
