B-52 ‘MIDDLE LINEBACKER’ OF OUR DEFENSE

Our gratitude to the air crews, their support, and to those

magnificent fortresses of flight that have served… so many

times… in so many ways.

The B-52 ‘Stratofortress’ is arguably the finest military aircraft ever built by standards of weapon system versatility, impact on war policy, range, cost, longevity and reliability of service in hostile environments. Happy 55th Anniversary of alert duty, Stratofortress. You have served two generations of Americans faithfully.
