B-36 Cold War Shield: Navigator's Journal

This book tells the story of a B-36 crew, flying countless training missions while carrying full-sized 8,500-pound mock nuclear weapons in their bomb bays. B-36 crews trained for the one flight when they would be ordered to drop combat nuclear bombs on the USSR. Flights of fifteen hours over continental United States to grueling thirty-hour nonstop flights overseas were routine, all without the benefit of in-flight refuelingâ€”not yet invented. The experiences of this crew, as they flew their assigned missions, are part of the history of our nationâ€™s defense. They were part of our Cold War Shield.
