Reviews

"""An excellent account of the story of one of the USAF's best known aircraft of the Cold War era and beyond and indeed one that has still not come to an end. With personal memories included to bring life to some of the stories, this is well worth reading I think. When you see a B-52 take to the air at an airshow, it is always such an impressive sight and one we will continue to see for some time yet.""-- ""Military Modelling"""
