Scott Libis - The Martin XB-51

Air Force Legends 201

The XB-51 has a special glamour among the many projects that were born in the early 50s, and never came to fruition. With its spectacular looks, its variable incidence wing, and its bristling performance on 3 engines, the XB-51 could have been a star of the late 50s and the 60s. Politics, and the competition from a very able opponent, the EE Canberra, decided otherwise.
This book is an excellent pictorial tribute to this machine, with a lot of fantastic details, like the cockpit, the weapons bay, the landing gear bays, in the true fashion of Steve Ginter's Naval Fighters' series. A must have for aviation buffs and modellers.
