	V bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term V bomber was used for the Royal Air Force aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s that comprised the UK's strategic nuclear strike force.
		The RAF Bomber Command ended World War II with a policy of using heavy four-piston-engined bombers for massed raids, and remained committed to this policy in the immediate postwar period, adopting the Avro Lincoln, an updated version of the WW2 Lancaster, as their standard bomber.
		After considering various specifications for such an advanced jet bomber in late 1946, in January 1947 the Air Ministry issued an request for an advanced jet bomber that would be at least the equal of anything the US or the USSR had.

	Bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards.
		Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat.
		The development of large strategic bombers stagnated in the later part of the Cold War both because of spiraling costs and the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile, which was felt to have equal deterrent value while being much more difficult to intercept.

		In any case, massed bombers were unnecessary if a single bomber could destroy an entire city or military installation with a nuclear weapon.
		The request also indicated that the fully loaded weight not exceed 45,350 kg(100,000 pounds), though this would be adjusted upward in practice; that the bomber have a cruise speed of 925 km/h (500 knots); and that it have a service ceiling of 15,240 m (50,000 feet).

	Ukraine: Bomber Decommissioning/Transfer Developments
		Bombers will be scrapped at Mykolayiv and Poltava air bases, their engines in Bila Tserkva and Khmelnytskyy, and the cruise missiles in Ozernyy (Zhytomyr Oblast).
		The decision to dismantle the bombers may have been influenced by US reminders that aid for bomber dismantlement would be halted if the bombers were transferred.[2] For more information on US foreign assistance to Ukraine, see the 8/7/2000 entry in the CTR Developments in Ukraine section.
		The transfer of the strategic bombers from Ukraine to Russia is part of a gas debt settlement.[3] While Ukraine had originally wanted $75 million for each bomber, the final agreement values each bomber at $25 million and the missiles at $10 million, for a total reduction of Ukraine's gas debt by $285 million.

	[No title]
		It was decided that the bombers would break away first, with some heavy fighters for cover and defense from any incoming help, then the carriers would land near the holes that they had punched with their big bombs and insert the battle-armored troops.
		The bombers all simultaneously dropped the bombs from their belly racks.
		The skies darkened somewhat as the air filled with the hulking ships and the flurry of bombs, and soon filled with dust and dirt from the resounding explosions of the bombs all hitting their marks.

		From May 31 1942 RAF Bomber Command was able to mount large scale night raids involving up to 1000 aircraft, many of which were the new heavy four-engined bombers.
		In 1968 the RAF experienced its largest change in administrative structure since 1936 when Fighter Command, Bomber Command and Coastal Command were combined into the new Strike Command which exists today.
		The end of the RAF presence in the east of Asia came in 1971 when the Far East Air Force was disbanded on October 31.

	The Handley-Page Victor
		Incidentally, the Germans had designed a similar crescent wing for an improved version of the Arado Ar-234 jet bomber, but it does not appear that Lee saw any of the plans for it during his visit to Germany.
		In 1982 Argentina seized the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, and as part of the operation to retake them, the RAF was to conduct raids with Avro Vulcan bombers.
		The company also came up with an unbuilt design for a low-level bomber, with short wings, but it had little in common with the Victor except for the cockpit.

	Vickers Valiant: First of the V bombers
		This is another book from the excellent Aerofax series and concentrates on the first of Britain's 'V bombers'; the Vickers Valiant.
		This and other V aircraft were initially developed and designed in the very late 1940s, but thanks to what became a standard for long and drawn out development for aircraft, the type did not enter into service until 1955.
		Though in service for a shorter period of time than the other V bombers, (some of which served through the first Gulf War of 1991, the Valiant led the way in many areas.

		When everything was ready and the bomber had reached its required altitude, the V-I was released.
		When the operational height of the V-i was found to be between 2000 and 3,000 feet, the gunners were in a difficult position: the height was too low for the heavy guns and too high for the light guns.
		The fighter pilots found that it was too dangerous to shoot down a V-i from too close behind and that the safe distance was not less than 200 yards.

		Present estimates are that medium range GW defences will make it excessively dangerous for the V bombers to fly over, or within about 50 miles of the target in 1960.

		The V bombers maintained the British deterrent until Polaris became available, and the last flight with Blue Steel was on 21st December 1969.

	Daschle v. Thune: Bombers
		In a Friday debate defined by disagreement, South Dakota's U.S. Senate candidates took opposite positions on whether any support for the nation's B-2 stealth bomber fleet undermines Ellsworth Air Force Base, home to about 26 of the nation's 60 in-service B-1B Lancer bombers.
		"The B-2 bomber and the B-1 bomber are both going to be critical to the United States' heavy bomber fleet for at least the next quarter century.
		The B-1 will be "the backbone of the heavy bomber fleet for the foreseeable future," Thompson said, citing the numbers of aircraft in the two fleets and the B-1's success in recent wars.

	CHAPTER VI: Soviets in the Air
		Two-engined bomber production included the PK-2 (based on the French Potez) at two plants, and the IL-4 at three plants, of which only Komsomolsk (which Henry Wallace said was like the Boeing Seattle plant because it had all U.S. equipment) produced other aircraft.
		Although in April 1944 General John R. Deane recommended U.S. approval of Russian requests for heavy bombers, the War Department refused on the grounds that the Soviets could not train a bombing force prior to the spring of 1945 and that certain special equipment for such bombers was in short supply.
		How did the Soviets advance from an inability to produce modern bombers in 1940 to an ability to produce a workmanlike design requiring an extensive period of research and flight testing in 19477 Even if the finest designs were available, jigs and dies to put the plane into quantity production were also required.
