[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1988, B-52 - Ageing BUFFs, Youthful Crews is a selection of over 100 high quality colour photos of B-52 aircraft, mostly taken in fairly recent times at the publication date. The captions are for the most part well written and informative, excepting a small number which adopt a gung-ho style perhaps in sympathy with the USAs growing military confidence at that time. Much is made of the age of the B-52, which makes it especially interesting as a number are still in service 30 years later. Excellent.

A good, photo-book ''time capsule'' of late 1980s B-52s, their deployments and the men who flew them.
