B-2A Spirit Units in CombatAuthor(s): Thomas Withington, Chris Davey\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Osprey Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781841769936, 978-1841769936\nSynopsis\nThe B-2A Spirit was an aircraft conceived to fight the Cold War but which has proved invaluable to both the New World Order and more recently the War on Terrorism.\n\nThe combination of low-observability, precision strike, range and payload flexibility has made the Spirit the weapon of choice when America hits its enemies at the start of a campaign. Spirits have fired the first shots of Operation Allied Force over Kosovo and Serbia, as well as operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Despite the tremendous cost of the aircraft each unit is literally worth its weight in gold the B-2 has had an impact on modern warfare which has vastly exceeded this small force of 21 bombers.\n\nDeveloped in utmost secrecy, the B-2s gestation saw the use of new computer design .
