Based on the British Canberra B2, the B-57 played a special role within the USAF. The first B-57 made its maiden flight on 28thJune 1954. It was suited for low flying missions by day and night in all weather conditions. Two B-57 Wings were deployed to Vietnam in 1965, where they became an irreplaceable weapon during ground support and night missions. A single B-57 could carry a weapon load similar to four F-4 Phantom.
