Historical Information about the AJ-1 Savage

The Boeing AJ-1 Savage was the first American carrier-based atomic bomber, entering service with the United States Navy shortly after the end of World War II. The aircraft was used during the Cold War era, marking an important transitional stage in naval aviation history—from piston to jet propulsion. It was operated from the late 1940s to the early 1960s and took part, among others, in operations testing the ability to deliver atomic bombs from US Navy aircraft carriers.
