The U.S. Air Force's B-2 Spirit is the world's only flying wing stealth bomber, capable of flying undetected across continents. With its bat-like wings and stealthy design, the aircraft fascinates young aviation enthusiasts with its futuristic look. This book explains how the B-2 uses radar-absorbing materials and a unique shape to avoid detection, and how it can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons. Readers discover its history, including its first combat missions in Kosovo and Iraq, and its role in modern warfare. Part of Creative Education's Amazing Skymasters series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, glossary terms, further reading, and an index.
