The book, The B-1 Bomber: The Real Story Of A Technical Aviation Marvel! reviews in detail the history, design details, production problems, technological breakthroughs, and challenges of the B-1B.  “The B-1 Bomber” traces back the roots of the B-1’s “family tree” when it was first designed as a chemically powered, strategic bomber and reconnaissance weapon system, the 110A/L.  While ultimately powered by four high-thrust jet engines, the B-1B encountered a long series of development and budget problems that almost prevented it from “getting off the ground”.  This book takes a thorough look at the weapon technology that gave the B-1 its reputation as the United States Air Force’s premier strategic long-range weapon system.  Also, highlighted are recent avionics improvements, including enhanced forward-looking terrain-following radar, which gives the B-1B unparalleled navigation and offensive weapons delivery accuracy.  The major sections of  “The B-1 Bomber” are as follows: 1) Acknowledgements; 2) Dedication; 3) Foreword; 4) Introduction; 5) Chapter 1 - Roots; 6) Chapter 2 - The B-1A; 7) Chapter 3 – Death And Rebirth; 8) Chapter 4 – The B-1B; 9) Chapter 5 – Weapons; 10) Chapter 6 – Flight Tests; 11) Chapter 7 – Production; 12) Chapter 8 – Deployment; 13) Chapter 9 – B-2: The Future and 14) Index.  In addition to an informative narrative, “The B-1 Bomber” includes the following features: 1) Approximately 97 black and white photographs; 2) 10 color photographs; 3) 10 black and white illustrations; 4) 1 color illustration; 5) 1 black and white B-1 Materials illustration; 6) 1 black and white B-1 Major Subassemblies illustration; 7) 1 black and white B-1B Design Features illustration; 8) 1 black and white B-1 Aerodynamic Configuration illustration; 9) 1 black and white B-52 And B-1B Comparison illustration; 10) 1 black and white Offensive & Defensive Avionics System illustration; 11) 1 black and white B-1B Weapons Versatility illustration; 12) 1 black and white Conventional Stores Comparison illustration; 13) 1 black and white B-1B Weapons Bay illustration and 14) 1 black and white B-1B Major Sections And Subsystems illustration.  This book is 102 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is William G.
