Annotation |
The North American B-45 Tornado was America's first jet bomber and was used in a number of vital missions for nearly a decade. Drawing from declassified secret documents, this history explains the bomber's use in strategic reconnaissance and atomic-weapon strike missions from its 1944 development to its role in the Cold War. Includes more than 100 interviews with pilots, navigators, and ground personnel. Some violence and some strong language.
