Book Description 
Conceived in 1948, first flown in 1952 and projected still to be in front-line service in the 21st century, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is one of the most extraordinary aircraft in history. Here is the book to do justice to the story of the development and operational career of  this legendary bomber. The book features a comprehensive history of the development of the U.S. heavy bomber, and intensive discussion of the Boeing B-47 and its effect upon the B-52 design, and perhaps more important than either of these today, the enormous  number of modifications and changes which have kept the aircraft viable. The important contributions of the Strategic Air Command, with  its concepts of the dedicated crew, rigorous training and ceaseless evaluation is well covered, and special attention is given to the B-52's  role in the Vietnamese conflict. The book is reinforced with over 200 photographs and drawings, and includes a comprehensive set of  appendices. The material for the book was derived almost entirely from the primary sources--the men who designed, built, flew,  maintained and improved them and the documents created at the time. The author, a former B-52 and B-47 pilot himself, conveys the  spirit of the B-52--the men and the missions behind the hardware, as well as a superbly detailed analysis of the aircraft itself., over 200 b/w photographs, cut-away drawings, charts, diagrams, 8 1/2" x 11"

Book Description 
Dr. Strangelove is one of the boldest anti-war statements of all time--a darkly satirical vision of the Cold War and of military prowess lethally   fueled by human stupidity. The novel's characters are indelible: the commie-hating, redneck pilot, Major Kong; the wildly paranoiac,  nuclear-assault launching General Ripper; and, of course, Dr. Strangelove, the sinister, wheelchair-bound, ex-Nazi scientist, for whom world  destruction is the only bang big enough to satisfy. Peter George co-wrote the screenplay for Dr. Strangelove with Terry Southern and Stanley Kubrick, who directed the celebrated film. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
