Available May 2016

This is a pictorial history of Jack Northrop’s dream, the B-2A Spirit, a low-observable, strategic, long-range, heavy bomber with the ability to penetrate sophisticated and dense enemy air-defense shields. It is capable of all-altitude attack missions up to 50,000 feet, with a range of more than 6,000 nautical miles (nm) unrefueled, and over 10,000 nm with one refueling, giving it the ability to fly to any point in the world within hours. Stealth technology has rendered radar systems ineffective by greatly reducing their detection ranges. After ten years of service, the B-2A finally achieved full operational capability in December 2003. An assessment published by the USAF showed that two B-2As armed with precision weaponry could do the job of seventy-five conventional aircraft.

I hope he had time to include the NG B-21. Doubtful though since it's so far along in development and will be available a just a few months. I'll be buying one nonetheless! -SP
 
Just ordered this on Amazon.co.uk & it supposdely should be dispatched mid-March.
 
Good Day All -

Just got a copy of this book myself and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and photographic coverage. Lots of details and well worth the relatively low cost.

Enjoy the Day! Mark
