Intended as a successor of the B-47 Stratojet it could reach twice the speed of sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e However, problems occurred during the development process and costs risings went so out of control that the whole project was almost cancelled a few times. Strategic Air Command was initially against ordering the B-58 for service, not only because of its complexity but also since they saw no advantage of a Mach 2 bomber over other types. Despite this the B-58 entered service at S.A.C. in 1960. It would have a relatively short operational career. This book presents an overview of the development and operational use of the B-58 with many photos and illustrations.","brand":"Lanasta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47836187590807,"sku":"9789086161669","price":1377.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789086161669.webp?v=1779268900","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/convair-b-58-hustler-cold-war-nuclear-bomber-9789086161669","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
