FAIRFORD'S B-52 DESERT STORM OPS

摘要

Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 - and the US decision to mount Operation Desert Shield - aircraft, men and materiel poured into the region in preparation for the defence of Saudi Arabia. The USAF's Boeing B-52G Stratofortress fleet would become one of the major participants in the subsequent Coalition air war against Iraqi forces when Operation Desert Storm began in earnest on January 17, 1991.
