The huge, long-range B-52 bomber indisputably rates as the most capable and versatile warplane in history. From the Cuban Missile Crisis and Arc Light and Linebacker Ⅱ in Vietnam to the Gulf War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan today, the Boeing Stratofortress has been the indispensable combat aircraft. The B-52 is now in its sixth decade of service. First employed as a high-altitude deliverer of free-fall nuclear weapons, it has been constantly evolving in tactics, weaponry, and missions to meet every challenge in many different flight regimes.
