It has been asserted that the Boeing NB-52B Stratofortress, carrying Air Force serial 52-0008, can lay claim to being the airplane that has seen and participated in more history than any other single airplane. While the NB-52B is most famous for launching the three North American X-15 rocket planes, it continued to serve in the role of launch platform for a multitude of programs until its final mission on November 16, 2004. For forty-five years, the NB-52B was a fixture at Edwards Air Force Base.
The book is 200 pages long. It was the oldest flying B-52 by nearly ten years. It contains 246 color photographs, 89 black and white photographs, and 2 other illustrations.
