Group of two paperback books. Worn and used condition. Books are: B-1B Lancer Units in Combat in paperback Commissioned by President Reagan the B-1B, the Lancer began its duties as a nuclear-armed bomber in the mid-1980s. The end of the Cold War (1946-1991) intervened and the jet was removed from its nuclear missions as a result of arms control legislation. However, the 1990s saw the metamorphosis of the Lancer into a potent conventional weapons carrier which has seen action in Iraq, the Balkans and Afghanistan. B-52 Stratofortress Units in Operation Desert Storm in paperback With the ending of the Cold War (1946-1991), the B-52’s traditional combat role became redundant, and the USAF looked for new ways to use the machine. This book explains how, flying from bases in the Indian Ocean, Britain, Spain and Saudi Arabia, the B-52G was at the forefront of the campaign to free Kuwait of Saddam’s forces and dropped the first bombs of Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991).   See below in the Description area for a short video.   See Additional Information for shipping dimensions.
