Strategic Bombers

The term ‘strategic bomber’ is epitomised by the eight-engine B-52 Stratofortress. Even today, 71 years after its first flight, the B-52 is still top of the bill of aircraft designed and built for delivering munitions.

The number of nations that operate any type of strategic bomber are few on the ground. The RAF does not and neither does the Armée de l'Air. So which nations do? Answer, China, Russia, and the United States with a variety of aircraft used for the strategic bomber role, from the graceful look of Convair's B-58 Hustler to the menacing appearance of Northrop Grumman's B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

This much-anticipated special lifts the lid on them, Strategic Bombers (Nuclear Deterrence to Close Air Support) is an essential read.
