This has always been one of my favorite airplanes. Just the looks of it sitting on the ground, make it look fast and mean. It seems to me after reading the book that this was a difficult airplane to fly, and required a lot of maintainance to keep it in the air. When you read the book near the end the author tells how often the tires had to be changed. I had to look at that twice to believe it. As a kid in grade school when the B-58 was flying, I often heard the sound barrier being broken. Most likely it was this plane that was doing it. Buy this book and I'm sure you will be fascinated by this bomber of the past.
