Boeing B-1B Lancer. In service with the USAF

This very complete book offers a comprehensive portrait of the Rockwell - now Boeing - B-1B 'Lancer', the USAF's large swing-wing bomber, equipped with four high-powered engines that allowed it to fly supersonic. It is the only bomber of this size that can fly at this speed. The aircraft is designed to fly at very low altitudes in enemy territory. No detail is overlooked in this book; Every part of the fuselage, wings, landing gear, tail fins and stabilizers is paired with spectacular action shots of aircraft from Dyess Air Force Base or Ellsworth Air Force Base.

Flying low in the mountains - this type of aircraft is made for this, and the crews train a lot for this. Spectacular action shots show the planes like never before. A large chapter of this book is devoted to the cockpit of the B-1B. The book shows every detail of the fore and aft cockpit of the four crew members. As in each of Duke Hawkins' books, an important maintenance chapter is included, presenting some rarely seen details. Thephotos were taken on Ellsworth AFB by Dave Chng.
