The Douglas WB-66 Destroyer was a modified version of the B-66 Destroyer, a jet-powered light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the United States Air Force in the 1950s. The WB-66 was designed to perform weather reconnaissance missions, using advanced radar and meteorological equipment to collect data on atmospheric conditions and weather phenomena. The WB-66 had a crew of five: pilot, co-pilot, navigator, radar operator and weather observer. The WB-66 was equipped with a large radome under the fuselage, housing an AN/APS-54 weather radar, and a tail-mounted AN/APS-33 search radar.
The WB-66 also carried various cameras, sensors and probes to measure temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed. The WB-66 had a range of about 2,400 miles (3,900 km) and a maximum speed of 630 mph (1,020 km/h). The WB-66 entered service in 1956 and was deployed to various locations around the world, including Europe, Asia and the Pacific. The WB-66 played an important role in gathering meteorological information for military operations and scientific research. The WB-66 was retired from service in 1972, after being replaced by newer and more capable aircraft.
