Brief Historical Description

The RB-45C Tornado is a special reconnaissance version of the B-45 bomber built by North American Aviation. It was the first jet-powered strategic bomber in the United States arsenal, widely used in the early years of the Cold War and during the Korean War (1950-1953). The upgraded RB-45C version was equipped with advanced cameras, allowing it to conduct challenging reconnaissance missions far behind enemy lines. During the Korean War, these aircraft operated from Japanese bases among others, conducting risky flights over North Korea and Manchuria, often facing Soviet MiGs.
