Seeing as the machine in question had no combat history, much of the focus that Davies brings to this booklet are the controversies that afflicted the "Hustler' in service. While there isn't much statistical evidence that the plane was a "widow maker," there is also no denying that it was an expensive machine that gave up a lot of tactical flexibility for its blinding speed. Apart from that, this is another typically good work from the author. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

One of the most dramatic bombers of its day, the Convair B-58 came to epitomise the Cold War power of Strategic Air Command. Introduced only 12 years after the sound barrier was first broken, this iconic plane became the first large long-range supersonic bomber to take to the skies, a feat which had seemed far-fetched only a few years previously. Outstripping its contemporaries in terms of speed, and agile enough to escape most interceptors, the B-58 was a remarkable feat of engineering, setting 19 world speed records and collecting a host of trophies. The first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 at 63,000 feet, it was able to evade hostile fighters and represented a serious threat to targets across the Soviet Bloc. Supported by contemporary first-hand accounts, photography, and full-colour illustrations, this study explores the history of this ground-breaking aircraft from its conception to its little-known testing for use in the Vietnam War.
