The B-57 Canberra served the U.S. Air Force for more than 25 years as a nuclear weapons platform, conventional weapons bomber, reconnaissance,  tow target, weather, and electronic countermeasures aircraft as well as being the mainstay for other nations. In fact, the F-model serves today in high-altitude missions in various parts of the world.

This web site is dedicated to the aircrews, maintenance and support personnel who knew the aircraft and were a part of its missions. It is a beginning with the hope that those who were a part of the Canberra story will add to the growth of this site by providing original photos, sound, and anecdotes.

Do you have Canberra video we can feature right here?
