THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Boeing B-52G Stratofortress

The B-52 entered US Air Force service in 1955 and became a central aircraft of the Cold War bomber force. Its large wing, paired engine nacelles and bicycle-style main landing gear give it a distinctive shape. Later upgrades changed its missions and equipment over a long operational life.

The B-52G represented in this catalogue is a particular historical version. Modern B-52H equipment, current upgrade plans and figures for other variants should not be projected onto it simply because they share the Stratofortress name.
