Description:
|
The development of the successor to the B-52 began in the early 1960's and resulted in a contract being awarded to Rockwell in 1970. The B-1 first flew in 1974 but soon ran into political trouble. The project was cancelled in 1977 when only 3 prototypes existed. 1981 saw Reagan order a fleet of 100 B-1Bs, the last of which were delivered in the early 1990's. Designed for low-level, high speed penetration, the B-1B saw action in the Gulf War.
