Historical Description

The Convair B-58 Hustler was an American supersonic strategic bomber that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) during the Cold War from 1960 to 1970. It was the first bomber of its kind capable of speeds exceeding Mach 2. The B-58 played a key role in the nuclear deterrence strategy during the height of the USA-USSR rivalry, standing out with its innovative design and futuristic appearance. Expensive and complex to operate, it was ultimately retired before the 1970s began.
