It served as the mainstay of Strategic Air Command in the 1950s into the mid 1960s. The B-47 was an outgrowth of WWII research and development efforts, and the prototype aircraft first flew in December of 1947. The unique six-jet design featured twin engine pods on the wing near the fuselage, and one outboard. It also incorporated an elegant bicycle-type landing gear with two-wheel struts on the forward and aft fuselage and outrigger wheels. In 1956, over 1300 B-47s and 250 RB-47s were on alert. It was the high water mark for the aircraft, which was fully supplanted by the B-52 by 1967. This B-47 pilot's flight operating handbook was originally produced by the USAF. It has been slightly reformatted but is reproduced here in its entirety. It provides a fascinating view inside the cockpit of one of history's great planes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46888283144343,"sku":"9781435705548","price":2314.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781435705548.webp?v=1770259673","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/b-47-stratojet-pilots-flight-operating-instructions-9781435705548","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
