Still in front line service as a major component of
our strategic bomber forces, the Boeing B-52 was
built before most of its crew members were even
born. The first flight of the YB-52 prototype was
April 15, 1952 and the production that followed
reflected a continued development of the massive
bomber. Boeing's B-52 Stratofortress was the core
around which the modern Strategic Air Command
was developed. The final version was the B-52H, to
many "BUFF" pilots a real Cadillac when compared
to the earlier models.
