Top work throughout." --The Aviation Enthusiast Book CLub "Overall a very interesting book on the legendary and iconic bomber aircraft and certainly a worthy addition to the library of those with a fascination for the Stratofortress." --Scale Aircraft Modelling "The text is both detailed and readable" --Aeroplane Magazine "The usual deep level of detail and research that we come to expect from Peter Davies is once again on show in this third Osprey B-52 Units title." --Aviation News
