by Meyers K. Jacobsen
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

hit its target, and return to base unrefueled - long a dream of air planners.

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, over 130 b/w photographs,
