Davies Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A fully illustrated study into the extraordinary Convair B-36 during the Cold War. Publisher Description Perhaps no other aircraft represents the popular American 'bigger and better' theme than the extraordinary Convair B-36 'Peacemaker'. While it lacked the revolutionary features of many experimental aircraft of the 1950s, it combined considerable technical innovation with an evolutionary design that began in the 1930s with the B-17 Flying Fortress and led to the larger, more powerful Boeing B-29 Superfortress. With a 230 ft wingspan, more than double the B-17's, and a fuselage that was twice as long, the final production B-36's maximum weight was more than six times that of a loaded Flying Fortress. Its vertical tail exceeded the height of a four-storey house. Most importantly it could carry a 72,000-lb nuclear bomb load for more than 4000 miles. With specially commissioned artwork, over 50 photographs and first-hand accounts from the crews that manned the 'Peacemaker', this fascinating volume explores the bomber's technical details and its formidable deterrent effect which contributed to limiting the escalation of the Cold War.
