Reds Without A Bomb Plane
Asher Lee, former British Air Ministry intelligence officer, says the Soviet Union has no bomber capable of delivering an atom bomb yet. In a forthcoming book he notes Moscow is pursuing a six engine long range bomber to compete with the B 36, but only in prototype stage. He projects potential future growth to double strength and range by the mid 1950s, with annual production of not less than 7500 jet aircraft.
