- Title
Culture Clash Bomber Nuclear Operations in a Post-Cold War World.
- Authors
Spalding, Robert
- Abstract
The article discusses the cultures of nuclear bomber operations, noting the Air Combat Command and the Tactical Air Command (TAC) in the U.S. It states that the change in the post-Cold War bomber culture was initiated by the conventional B-52 crew members. It notes the need for the Air Force to hone a credible force of nuclear bombers, since a global power must have deterrence ability, while considering the force of conventional bombers.
