Thanks for some great pics. I've always regarded the b-58 as being
far far ahead of its time, both in terms of aircraft design and weapon
systems.
I can't agree with that. Had the project been started a few years later it
would have been canceled while still on paper. Once SAMs forced it down to
low level you had a short range bomber with small payload that was only
marginally faster than a B-52.
It was one sexy airplane though.
