The Superbombers literally changed the conduct of modern warfare. Unlike any other military platform or weapons systems, they have made history through innovative technology, memorable service in both war and peace, and in shaping the doctrine of military preparedness. From the last months of World War Two into the jet age, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress introduced innovation in design and payload delivery, etching its type in history with the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, the beloved 'BUFF', has become an icon of modern US military air power. Serving from the onset of the Cold War through Vietnam, Desert Storm, and into the 21st century, its remarkable longevity will reach 100 years of deployment since its first flight in the 1950s. Come with us as we explore the development, deployment, and iconic histories of the Superbombers, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress and B-52 Stratofortress.
