===1946-1952===

Now in its fifth decade of operation, the B-52 Stratofortress's origins go back to [[World War Two]]. The specific specifications they looked for in a new bomber which had the ability of operating in a radius of 5000 miles, and could fly at 300 mph at 34,000 feet. [[Boeing]] Company received a contract from the [[military]] to build the new plane. The bomber, [[Convair B-36]], was not ready until after the war and soon its capabilities proved useless against new technology. Boeing tried to improve the plan but their efforts failed, as the plane still was not much of an improvement over the B-36.  The design for the B-52 was made by engineering staff and military experts in [[Seattle]].
