B-52 STRATOFORTRESS IN ACTION by Lou Drendel. This is number 23 of the Squadron/Signal Publications on aircraft and sells in America at $3.95 but can also be obtained from Hersant's Bookshop in London. Brilliantly illustrated with photographs and with a coloured section, this book describes in a very full text the story of this manned bomber which has so creditably maintained the peace whilst America's foreign policy shifted from the 'cold war' to what it is today (your guess is as good as mine on that point!) I am not particularly interested in aircraft but even so find these brilliant photographs of this gigantic aircraft to be'highly impressive.
