Description

The Convair B-58 Hustler is a fascinating bomber that defied its time. Designed in the 1940s, its delta-wing design would not look out of date in the 21st century. The Mach 2 Hustler was the first USAF delta-wing bomber, boasting the performance of a fighter aircraft. However, its operational tenure was short-lived due to technical issues and high costs. The majority of Hustlers met their demise in the late 1960s, but a few remain on display at museums across the country. This book provides a detailed look at the Convair B-58 Hustler, exploring its design, performance, and operational history. With its unique blend of military history and aviation expertise, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.
