The whole series covers all aspects of B52 operations from the early days of airborne alert through the Vietnam years and into the anti-shipping role with targeting by RAF Nimrod aircraft.

Your comment above rekindled some old memories. In the mid-80s I wrote the EXTAC for B52 in Support of Maritime Operations. With the NFTC we did a run into Loring which just happened to coincide with their Mid Winter Festival - human curling was interesting
Worked with both the 42nd Bomb Wing (Loring) and the 2nd Bomb Wing (Barksdale) and got about 40 hours as Flight Test Director culminating in a live Harpoon launch.
