The Douglas B-66 Destroyer was developed from the Navy A3D Skywarrior for U.S. Air Force use as a tactical light bomber and photo reconnaissance aircraft, first flew on June 28, 1954, became operational in 1956, and remained in production until 1958, when Douglas had built 294 Destroyers. Only the B-66B was designated exclusively as a bomber, while other versions served in tactical reconnaissance and electronic countermeasure roles. The WB-66D was the first U.S. Air Force aircraft built exclusively for weather reconnaissance, and 36 were built, with deliveries beginning in the summer of 1957. It carried a crew of five and a large array of weather data collection instruments that fed raw data into onboard computers, allowing a complete weather report while in flight. Warner Robins Air Logistics Center had worldwide logistics responsibility for all B-66s from 1954 until the last Destroyer was retired in 1970. Aircraft 55-392 was last assigned to the 363rd Reconnaissance Wing at Shaw AFB, South Carolina, in 1957, retired from the 363rd in 1965, and acquired by the Museum of Aviation in 1985.
