1/24/2007 - ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. (AFNEWS) -- The
28th Bomb Wing received its first B-1B Lancer on Jan. 21, 1987. Over
the course of its 20 years of service with the wing, the aircraft and
its mission have changed significantly.
The B-1B has roots in
the 1970s, when it became obvious that winning the Cold War required
stepping up technology. Originally, Rockwell International won the bid
to build four prototype aircraft. The Air Force wanted a fast jet that
could cruise efficiently at subsonic speeds and at speeds as high as
Mach 2.2, with the additional capability of low-altitude, near sonic
capability. The result was the B-1A, which made its maiden flight in
December 1974. President Jimmy Carter cancelled the program in 1977.
