I suspect the person who wrote the article is my age and most folks think
"computers" started in about 1982...

Yep, an awesome airplane.
Several places in this article mention the B-52 as "now having computers."
Here's a little correction: B-52's have ALWAYS had computers -
bombing/navigation, fire control (gunnery) and radar jamming computers that
have worked very well. Even B-17's, B-24's, B-29's, B-36's, B-50's, B-47's and
others had computers - less "sophisticated" than those in use now, of course,
but computers are NOT NEW to military aircraft. My first computer training was
for those on B-52's in 1961.
