This first edition of the B-58 Blunder became an Amazon Best Seller when first published in 2015. Along with the current Second Edition it has sold more than 7,000 copies. It has 94 photos. The author flew in this supersonic bomber and was the B-58 subject matter expert in the Pentagon. He tells the true story of how the B-58 came to a premature death in the U.S. military, largely because of infighting among military and civilian leaders. It was a technological marvel for its time and the very best pilots and navigators were chosen to fly this unique aircraft. At its maximum speed of 2.2 Mach (1,452 mph) it was 2½ times faster than the muzzle velocity of a .45 caliber bullet. It could fly faster and out turn must fighters of its day 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 had a capsule and was also capable of flying close to tree top level just below the speed of sound. It was nearly ejection system for the safety of the aircrew and was capable of getting airborne in only half the time required by other bombers. Told for the first time, this is the inside story that dispels the unproven myths surrounding the demise of the B-58 and why this magnificent airplane should have been saved. The B-58 was a bomber that set the standard for fear in the heart of an enemy and its loss from the nuclear armory was a severe blow to our “Cold War” deterrence strength. Its loss was a strategic mistake. Highly effective weapons of war can easily end up in a trash heap due to quick and uninformed decisions, among those who fail to understand the value of military systems. 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.
