Description
The Boeing B‑47 Stratojet was one of the most influential aircraft of the early Cold War era — a sleek, swept‑wing bomber whose radical design reshaped modern jet aviation and set the template for generations of high‑performance aircraft. In this Warpaint Special, the Stratojet’s remarkable story is explored in depth, from its pioneering aerodynamic breakthroughs and demanding flight characteristics to its central role within Strategic Air Command during the tense decades of nuclear deterrence.
This volume combines authoritative historical narrative with a rich visual record, including archive photography, detailed colour profiles, scale drawings, and technical notes that illuminate the aircraft’s development and operational service. Coverage includes variants, reconnaissance conversions, squadron markings, camouflage schemes, and the Stratojet’s global deployment as America’s first truly modern jet bomber.
Designed for both aviation historians and scale modellers, this Warpaint Special provides a comprehensive reference that captures the innovation, challenges, and legacy of an aircraft that helped define the jet age.
