There seems to have been a recent debate over whether the B-58 had a crew
of two or four.  Just to add to the confusion, I'll opine that it had a 
crew of three.  I don't recall how the functions were divided up, but 
believe it was approximately one each of pilot, navigator/bombardier, and 
electronic/defensive systems operator.  I vaguely recall B-58's sitting 
in alert sheds at Grissom AFB (Indiana), plainly visible from US highway
31, with three in-line hatches open.
