Great Planes looks into the stories behind the most influential, innovative and intriguing machines that ever took flight. Designed in the 1940s, modified during the 1950s, in service in the 1960s, and state of the art in the 1970s, the B-57 evolved to fill the gap between fighter planes and bombers. This high-speed model also served with the airforces of Taiwan and Pakistan and, in both cases, as with those in U.S. service, saw combat with distinction.
