Where the pylon mounted engine came from….not to mention why their logo looks as it does.

After reading "From its early piston-driven concepts and experimental derivatives to visionary nuclear and supersonic proposals, this bookazine charts every phase of the bomber’s design history." from the brief description, a question arise: is this bookazine a summary of the already existing?

Hello folks,
as you are aware, Mortons Books were acquired by Kelsey Media this winter, so many of Mortons’ books and bookazines have been reissued by Kelsey.

In this case, the original 388-page book "Boeing B-47 Stratojet & B-52 Stratofortress; Origins & Evolution" isn’t simply a one-to-one reissue as a bookazine, but instead presented as a condensed summary focusing on the evolution of the B-52 Stratofortress.
This 130-page bookazine "US Aviation Secret Projects 2: B-52 Stratofortress" skips the B-47’s development and evolution, summarizes the B-52’s development, evolution, and variants, and features most of Scott’s scale diagrams reduced to half-page or one-third-page size.
No cover and 3D-art by Rob Parthoens anymore, just a new cover design by Darren Hendley.

Fortunately, I’ve owned the original book for four years.

[...] However, the diagrams have been improved, updated and added to.[...]

Sorry folks, after reviewing the bookazine again, I can confirm, that new and improved diagrams have been added.
For example, in addition to the three-view drawing of the Boeing XB-52 on page 52, there is now an inboard profile showing its operational derivative.
