How many B-52's were lost to enemy action?

How
does it compare to the data you have?

www.nampows.org/B-52.html


The dates are good (plus or minus 1 day on a few), but that list fails to
document the crash landing in Da Nang in '67 (probably because there was
no
lost aircrew, bailouts or fatalities, it was just a very hard landing
after
already suffering some bad battle damage), the ground fire in Kadena in
'68
(which involved no aircrew at all), or the 2 that were scrapped in '73
(one at
Da Nang and the other at Utapo). All the ones that involved bailouts or
fatalities matched what Dorr has almost exactly. If you notice, that web
page
even mentions Dorr's book (co-authered with Lindsey Peacock).

Didn't catch that; thanks.

A good source of B-52 information lives right there in Las Vegas, Don
Harten, author of "Arc Light One" in which he describes the events of the
FIRST Arclight strike and his bad day. Not many people survive two
consecutive crashes.

Even less survive two non-consecutive crashes. Heard anyone who
survived the first crash, didnt survive the second crash and finally
survived the third crash?

Don,

A little publicity probably won't harm.
