Boeing B-47 Stratojet : true stories of the Cold War in the air

"Fifty-six authors with intimate connections to the B-47 have written sixty-three individual stories. The authors range from amateurs to professionals; from the experimental test pilots who flew the first flights, to airmen who maintained the airplanes, to combat crewmen who flew the sometimes-dangerous reconnaissance and airborne alert missions, to Air Force Generals who commanded large segments of the huge 2040 airplane B-47 fleet. The authors include engineers who helped design and improve the XB-47 and the many B-47 variants that followed." --Introduction, p. 7
