The new computerized jets, such as the B1 Lancer and not yet fielded B2 had teething problems; so the old Vietnam War veterans had to come in and do the job for them: the mighty B52 Stratofortress and the A6 Intruder all weather medium bomber. Both of these old bombers had suffered greatly in the Vietnam War, approximately 30 Stratoforts and 84 Intruders had been destroyed in Vietnam, with nearly 400 B52s being destroyed by the SALT treaties, and only about 700 of each had been built in the 1960's. After the "Storm" the Intruder was retired, but only about 94 B-52s remain in service; irregardless of what the military says (that the B52 will fly forever)...94 bombers have to have spare parts and metal fatique does take it's toll if flown routinely.

How were jet engines used in World War 2?
They were used primarily in fighter planes. The speed gained from jet engines made them more effective against slower bombers, since they were harder for gunners to track. By the very end of the war, the Luftwaffe was fielding a jet in its Me262 and the RAF followed with the Gloster Meteor. Both of these (and the better-known DeHavilland Vampire) were developed too late and weren't deployed in large enough numbers to be able to judge their combat effectiveness accurately. Given their potential and their superiority over the technology of the day, it's likely that jet aircraft design would have advanced much faster in the post war years had the war lasted another year. pertaining to the above. If the Germans invented the jet engine during the war, it is most likely they would have won......They were never used in actual fighting during the war. They were still in the experiential stages.

This is a very general answer. The first Boeing jet built was a proposal for the U.S. airforce to be used as a flying tanker to refuel long range jet bombers. The civilian version was called the 720. When Douglas introduced their DC-8, Boeing took the design of the 720, widened it and lengthened it and called it the 707. The 707 was the most popular passenger jet used during its time.
