The B-52 Stratofortress

Published: March 19, 2021, 10 a.m.

World War II was the first major conflict that saw the use of strategic bombers. In the months immediately after the war, the US saw the need for an advanced bomber to replace the bombers which were developed during the war. Moreover, they wanted something bigger, faster, and that used newly developed jet engines. 

The end result of the process was the B-52 bomber which had its first flight in 1952.
