war documentary
hosted by david robb
published by history channel
broadcasted as part of battle stations series in 2002

for nearly half a century one bomber has dominated the skies. during those fifty years it has
delivered more conventional bombs than any other aircraft. with a maximum speed of 650 mph, a
range of of over 8000 miles, and capable of dropping a massive 70.000 lbs. of bombs, it is the
most lethal bomber in the world. it can also deliver free-fall nuclear bombs, cruise missiles and
precision weapons. when the united states' president wants to wield his 'big stick' he sends in the
b-52s.

it has flown for nearly fifty years, and is projected to remain in service until 2045. battle
stations goes from the ohio hotel where the b-52 was first conceived to the skies over
afghanistan and interviews military planners, pilots, crewmembers and aviation experts to chronicle
the history of this extraordinary plane. revisit the decades when a fleet b-52s remained aloft 24
hours a day, armed with nuclear warheads and just two hours away from the soviet union, as a
key component of america's cold war deterrence strategy. fly in missions from vietnam, when the
stratofortress was first exposed to fire from surface-to-air missiles, to the gulf war and beyond,
and tour the cockpit with the men who have piloted the b-52 through the years.this is a fascinating
look at the aircraft that is arguably the most important and successful warplane ever made.
