"I can remember when B-52s had rear guns. I think they must have removed them during the 60s."

I worked on B-52s in the mid seventies.
The latest models, G & H, had a tail gun that was
remotely controlled by the gunner whose position was next to
EW officer on the flight deck. It used some sort of radar
to aim the gun. The gunner was an enlisted guy usually
at least a Staff Sargent in rank.

Thanks for the info. The guns lasted longer than I thought.
