The full story of the world's first truly intercontinental bomber, operated by the US Air Force during a critical phase in the Cold War. Equipped with six piston and four jet engines, the B-36 could carry any bomb in the USAF inventory including all available types of nuclear weapon. This 116-page special publication covers the full story of this incredible aircraft, including how and why it was built, along with its capabilities and the challenges faced by its crews, which could number more than 20 per aircraft. Chapters also look at the diversity of its roles, from a potential atomic attack on Soviet cities to penetrating Russian airspace on spy missions
