Stealth Doesn't Matter: The Bomber Will Not Always Get Through
*Michael Peck* *Bombers, World* Will stealth prove more successful than the bombers of the 1930s? *Here's What You Need to Know*: Stealth aircraft seem as unstoppable today as the early bombers once did. "The bomber will always get through," declared British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin in November 1932. Baldwin did not make that statement because he loved bombers.
