Rockwell B-1B Lancer is a 180-page book on the Boeing B-1B Lancer. This book offers a very close look at the four-engine supersonic bomber in service with the USAF. The book is the result of several visits to Dyess AFB and Ellsworth AFB and shows that the B-One is very detailed and fantastic action. Landing gear, cockpit, fuselage, wings, engines, exhausts, weapons compartments, landing gear-everything is shown in great detail! This book contains about 400 photos of the USAF's largest swing-wing jet.The Rockwell B-1 Lancer is a U.S. supersonic quadrireactor, four-seat strategic bomber. It is the last of the U.S. Cold War bombers and was initially developed as a Mach 2 bomber with high altitude and reduced radar signature (about one-tenth that of the B-52); then it was redesignated in the belief that high altitude bombers had become impractical with the defenses of the Soviet Union ("Rockwell Internationale"); switching to the mission of low altitude penetration and transonic speeds.With its high range and ability to carry up to 40 theoretical tons of cargo, it was made a strategic bomber for interdiction missions. Its main problem, in addition to the difficulty of fine-tuning the equipment, was the need to decrease the launch distances to the target, as ALCM long-range missiles (incl. "Tomahawk") were given over to the older B-52s. Only SRAMs and free-fall bombs were available for the B-1Bs.
