Prolific Australian aviation author Stewart Wilson brings his extensive knowledge of aircraft to this overview of Vulcan, Boeing B-47 and B-52 fighters. The Avro Vulcan represented one-third of Britain's nuclear deterrent V-Bomber force during the Cold War; the Boeing B-47, highly advanced for its day,was SAC's standard medium bomber for much of the 1950s; and the mighty eight-engined Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, developed from the B-47, became the most famous combat aircraft in history. Wilson examines each of these powerful aircraft in detail. Item #5116
