About this episode
The B-52, the model of plane that disappeared in February 1968, is a remarkable and enduring aircraft. More than seven decades after the eight-engine bomber first flew, dozens are still in service for the United States Air Force. The origins of the design are part of the mythology of The Boeing Company, and the iconic bomber – nicknamed the “BUFF” – has carved a niche in American pop culture, from music to food to classic film.
