It was the largest aircraft ever regularly operated from the decks of aircraft carriers, earning it the fleet-wide nickname Whale. It excelled in every mission area assigned to it and operated in the US Navy for more than four decades, from 1956 through to 1991.\n\nFully illustrated to depict the incredible array of paint schemes and its awesome size, this volume focuses on the types Vietnam service, which saw the aircraft briefly used as a bomber over both North and South Vietnam from March .
