This 2nd edition of the B-58 Blunder expands on the first edition with new chapters and over 100 photos. It tells the true but unfortunate story on how the B-58 supersonic bomber came to a premature death in the U.S. military. The author flew in the B-58 for three years and was the Pentagon’s B-58 subject matter expert. He explains why It was a strategic blunder to retire the B-58 after only ten years of operational service and dispels many of the unfounded myths still being propagated about this aircraft. At its maximum speed of 2.2 Mach (1,452 mph) the B-58 was 2½ times faster than the muzzle velocity of a .45 caliber bullet. However, the author's war-time mission was to navigate the B-58 in enemy territory at low level, just below the speed of sound. The B-58 was nearly undetectable by enemy radars due to its speed and low radar cross section and was better at flying through heavy turbulence due to its solid delta wing design. It had a highly accurate navigation and bombing system and could get airborne in only half the time required by other bombers. This 2nd edition reveals for the first time how a congressional sub-committee found that the B-58 would be more successful than the FB-111 or the B-52 in carrying out its war-time mission. It also has a new chapter about the birth of the B-58, beginning with its original concept as a parasite bomber strapped to the underbelly of a B-36 and how it progressed to become the technological marvel for its time. Its loss from the nuclear armory was a severe blow to our “Cold War” deterrence strength. The B-58 was a bomber that set the standard for fear in the heart of the enemy. Its loss was a strategic mistake. The author provides lessons learned and recommendations for military and civilian leaders, going forward, to hopefully prevent future blunders—like what happened to the B-58.
