| Synopsis: |
he Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" was the ultimate statement of American air power at the beginning of the Cold War. An intriguing mix of proven World War II concepts and 1950s high-tech innovations, the aircraft would spark more controversy than any weapon system ever built until the ill-fated Star Wars system of the late 1980s. This fantastic new release of the best-selling title combines extensive research from various archives around the country which have uncovered new and previously unpublished details about the B-36 and its derivatives. It also includes amazing photographic coverage of the devastating 1952 Texas tornado that severely damaged and grounded a good portion of the B-36 fleet. A detailed serial number list covers each airplane and its final disposition, and a chapter covers the efforts to reclaim and scrap the aircraft as they were taken out of service. For all military aviation enthusiasts, historians, and modellers this is an entertaining and illuminating text which effectively captures the turbulent history of this famous fighter. |
