USAF Captain Ken Curry B52 Pilot SA2 Story from Vietnam War.

Former USAF Capt. Ken Curry talks about an enemy SA2 surface to air missile exploding about 100 feet from the left wing of the B52 he was piloting during a mission in Southeast Asia on April 9, 1972. The B52 aircraft is on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton Ohio. Interview by NMUSAF Public Affairs and is in public domain.

After it became operational in 1955, the B52 remained the main longrange heavy bomber of the US Air Force during the Cold War, and it continues to be an important part of the USAF bomber force today. Nearly 750 were built before production ended in the fall of 1962; 170 of these were B52Ds.
