Introduced in 1960, just 12 years after the sound barrier was broken, the B-58 was the first large, long-range supersonic bomber to take to the skies. It outstripped its contemporaries in terms of speed, agility, and evasiveness, setting 19 world speed records and collecting a host of trophies. It was the first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 at 63,000 feet, making it a serious threat to targets across the Soviet Bloc. This study explores the history of the B-58 from its conception to its testing for use in the Vietnam War, supported by contemporary first-hand accounts, photography, and full-color illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 326g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 185 x 248 x 5 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472836403                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter E.
