A total of six B-2As of the 393rd Bomber Squadron, 509th Bomber Wing, were operational as of 1999 and all deployed from Whiteman AFB in Missouri, only, during the conflict. This artwork shows the aircraft with serial number 88-0329, named “Spirt of Missouri”, the very first operational aircraft of this type – and the one widely claimed as shot down by Serbian sources ever since. The primary weapon of the B-2As was the brand new GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM; essentially a Mk.84 General Purpose 2,000lb/1,000kg bomb with a GPS-guidance kit attached to the rear), one of which is shown inset, and up to 16 of which could be carried in the aircraft’s two internal bomb bays.
