The B-52 is a strategic bomber that has been in service with the United States Air Force since the 1950s. This book, titled "B-52: Ageing BUFFs, Youthful Crews," explores the longevity of this iconic aircraft and its continued relevance in modern warfare. The book likely discusses the adaptations and upgrades that have kept the B-52 operational for decades, as well as the experiences of the younger crews who now operate these aging bombers.
