Product Description

The B-52 "Stratofortress" long range heavy bomber, built by Boeing, has been in operation in the Strategic Air Command since 1955. It first flew on Apr. 15, 1952. Nearly 750 B-52's were built when production ended in Oct. 1963, of which 170 were D's. The D's were modified to carry conventional bombs and Quail decoy missiles.

The B-52 has set many records in its 25 plus years of service. On Jan. 18, 1957, three B-52B's completed the world's first non-stop round-the-world flight by jet aircraft, lasting 45 hours and 19 minutes with only three aerial refuelings en route. It was also a B-52 that made the first airborne hydrogen bomb drop over Bikini Atoll on May 21, 1956.

About this Handcrafted Wooden Model Aircraft:
This beautiful handmade airplane model is an authentic replica made from the finest grade of select kiln dried Philippine mahogany wood. The model is made entirely by hand: From the handcarving of the aircraft fuselage, to the sanding of the aircraft's contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place. After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors, emblems, and insignias of the original historical aircraft. Finally, multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall glossy finish.
