[About the actual machine]
-The B-52 Stratofortress is a super large strategic bomber that has been in operation since 1955 and is still active in the US Air Force.
- Initially designed to carry nuclear bombs, a conventional bomb-carrying version later appeared. It was first used in combat during the Vietnam War, and demonstrated its capabilities in the North Bombing.
-Although more than half a century has passed since it began operation, various improvements have been made and it continues to be used as the main bomber of the United States Air Force. Its performance, including its high reliability and large bomb carrying capacity, has not faded to this day.
- Of each type, the B-52D type was first flown in 1956 and used in the Vietnam War. It is said that 170 units were produced. It first flew in 1957, and was equipped with avionics and bomb control for low-altitude invasion flights. The improved system was the E type, which was retired in 1970.
