Description: LARGE, BEAUTIFUL, HIGH QUALITY, 43rd Bomb Wing Convair B-58 "Hustler" patch. This patch is a reproduction of the B-58 patch created by the 43rd Bomb Wing at Carswell AFB in Texas to commemorate the period 1961-62 in which the 43rd BW and its B-58s won the Mackay, Bleriot, Bendix, Thompson and Harmon Trophies for setting numerous speed, altitude and payload records. The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102 and F-106, with four General Electric J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried a nuclear weapon and fuel in a large pod under the fuselage rather than in an internal bomb bay.Replacing the Boeing B-47 Stratojet medium bomber, it was originally intended to fly at high altitudes and supersonic speeds to avoid Soviet fighters. The B-58 received a great deal of notoriety due to its sonic boom, which was often heard by the public as it passed overhead in supersonic flight.
