The B-52 data is wrong (inflation not included)[edit]

I think there's a problem with the B-52 data: According to the wiki-article, the prices for the B-52B and H are either the same or lower for the airframe, engine, electronics and so forth, with only the ordinance costs having increased markedly, when all prices are converted to 1955 dollars. It appears that the graph here is using the B-52B price in 1955 dollars and the B-52H in 1998 dollars. While I think the overall trend towards more and more expensive aircraft is probably true, inflation needs to be taken out of the equation. ScepticWombat (talk) 11:28, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
