Convair B-36 Peacemaker, A Photo Chronicle explores the history of the Strategic Air Command's biggest bomber that helped keep the peace during the early years of the Cold War. The six-engined B-36 - later ten engine - was the first intercontinental bomber that could fly across continents, hit its target, and return to base unrefueled - long a dream of air planners. Presented here through the use of historical photographs is the history of this magnificent airplane, from its origin just prior to America's entry into World War II in 1941, to its final days in 1959 when its last missions were flown. This book will give the reader a concise overview of the story of the Peacemaker in the 1940s-1950s. A serial number listing is included, as well as a list of all ten B-36 bomb wings.

Excellent coverage, especially at this price.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Convair B-36 Peacemaker: A Photo Chronicle (Schiffer Military History) (Paperback)
A fine photo review of the B-36, with a number of photos I have not seen before. It is worth every penny of the very reasonable price; I wish the publisher would do more books like this and fewer of their highly-overpriced hardcovers.

This review is from: Convair B-36 Peacemaker: A Photo Chronicle (Schiffer Military History) (Paperback)
Similar in dimensions to the "In Action" profiles, this book offers considerably more text and, so, is nearly twice the thickness as the other series. Very good value for the price!
