Overview

Ever since primitive airplanes started dropping bombs during World War I, the United States has been a leader in bomber technology. Later, during World War II, American industry turned out thousands of bombers of various types. One of that conflict's true workhorses was the B-29. It took part in dramatic bombing raids that helped to bring Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to their knees. And it was a U.S. B-29 called the Enola Gay that unleashed the first atomic bomb on Japan, ending the war in the Pacific. In the decades that followed, American bombers became increasing sophisticated. Today the country has some that fly at supersonic speeds. Others are invisible to the enemy radar. In a world that remains dangerous and uncertain, these amazing and lethal flying weapons stand ready. They can and will go anywhere and do whatever is necessary to defend American liberty and interests.
