EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of a USAF Boeing B-47E Stratojet, serial number 53-4216, as it sits on the tarmac at RAF Waddington in the United Kingdom during the early 1960s. The B-47E, a long-range bomber with a distinctive swept-wing design, was a key component of the United States Air Force's strategic arsenal during the Cold War era. The image, taken by renowned aviation photographer Peter Butt, showcases the intricate details of the aircraft's exterior, from the complex engine systems to the intricately designed cockpit windows. The B-47E was a marvel of aeronautical engineering, capable of reaching speeds of over 500 miles per hour and flying at altitudes of up to 40,000 feet. Despite its impressive capabilities, however, the end of the line was drawing near for 53-4216. In October 1965, the aircraft was flown from RAF Waddington to Davis-Monthan Air Base in Arizona for scrapping. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the B-47E's storied history and the inexorable march of military aviation technology." This caption provides a historical context for the image, highlights the significance of the B-47E in US military aviation history, and sets the scene for the image itself. It also mentions the photographer's name and the fact that the image is from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive. The caption does not mention commercial use or the company that owns the archive.
