Probably from 1964, this promotional pamphlet references the B-70 Valkyrie nuclear bomber and the 465L Strategic Air Command system.
The XB-70 Valkyrie nuclear bomber was a Cold War project: a large, long-range strategic bomber capable of flying at Mach 3 that was initially concieved of in 1955 and whose development was reduced to research only by President Kennedy in 1961 due to high cost.
Intended to be the replacement for B-52, two prototypes, constructed of titanium and brazed stainless steel honeycomb material were built, first flew in 1964, and the program was terminated in 1969. The XB-70 was deemed to have adequate payload, but it was expensive and not considered competitive with ICBMs.
Obvious design elements by Paul Rand. No copies in OCLC.
