Hard Homes for Heavy-Bomber Crews
ResearchPublished 1959
This short paper argues that one of the problems, and perhaps the main one, constraining a high level of air and ground alert for Strategic Air Command B-52s is a shortage of aircrews. The paper explores how the use of hardened shelters for crews might help get more hours on alert from existing crews.
