Boeing built roughly 700 B-52 Stratofortress. Only about 250 to 300 of those bombers remained in service during the war; and nearly all them were rotated into the war. Boeing did not build anymore Stratoforts during the war, when B-52's were being flown. What SAC had, was it. This is why losses, when they occurred, highly upset SAC command, those bomber losses could not be replaced. For those B-52's that survived the war, the wear and tear on them (COMBAT flight hours) also meant that no spare parts were available...other bombers had to be cannibalized for parts.
