B-58 Hustler History:

The B-58 Hustler is a strategic bomber manufactured by Convair and was developed primarily for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command during the late 1950s.

The B-58 was hard to maneuver and is manned by three crews constantly busy for it to be exceptional in performance.  It was a complex  aircraft requiring considerable maintenance and much specialized equipment, making it three times as expensive to operate as the B-52.  The B-58 has an unfavorably high accident rate.  The B-58's maiden flight was on November 11, 1956 and was introduced on March 15, 1960. 

On January 16, 1970, the last B-58 retired from operational service, replaced by the FB-111A.  There's a total of 116 B-58s produced and most trial aircraft were later brought up to operational standard.  Some B-58s were used for special trials of variois kinds, including one used for testing the radar system intended for the Lockheed YF-12 interceptor.  Several improved variants were proposed by the manufacturer but were never built.  There are 8 surviving B-58s.  The B-58 received great notoriety for its sonic boom, which was often heard by the public as it passed overhead in supersonic flight.
