USAF B-47 306 Bomber Wing 1/144 Scale Plastic Model Kit Academy

The Stratojet was a Cold War Era, U.S Air Force Nuclear Bomber. A single B-47, with a 3 man crew, was equipped with more destructive power than all the aircraft combined during WWII. The B-47 entered service with the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951. It never saw combat as a bomber, but was a mainstay of SAC bomber strength during the late 1950s and early 1960s, and remained in use as a bomber until 1965. It was also adapted to a number of other missions, including photographic reconnaissance, electronic intelligence, and weather reconnaissance, remaining in service as a reconnaissance aircraft until 1969 and as a testbed until 1977.
