CALL TO GLORY is an economic
reappraisal of the Convair B-58 Hustler
nuclear strike bomber that
demonstrates cost-benefit analysis of a
capital asset should consider the impact
of qualitative and behavioral factors, as
well as the potential value that could be
received from complementary follow-
on investments. It is also shown that a
military capital asset evaluated in terms
of how it contributes to the overall
portfolio along with how it affects
ordered combinations in deployment of
ordnance provides greater context for
policy and decision makers.
