The B-52 entered service in 1955 and lived through the Cold War, being on alert 24/7. It saw service in the Vietnam War and in the deserts of the Middle East in Operation Desert Storm. Of 744 that were built 85 of 'H' model still remain in service. 60 years of service, and many battle scars later, still the B-52 remains Queen of the skies of War.
