Yes, they do. Some go up, some eject downward. I haven't been on a 52 in about 45 years, but if memory serves, the flight deck ejected upward, and the 3 stations down and behind the flight deck ejected downward. Remember, too, that I never flew the bombers. I was just a passenger.

Yes,The B-52 is equiped with an ejection seat for each of the 5 crew members.

yeah rayk got it right. The downward ejecting seats were a really good idea when the B52's did only high altitude bombing. Bit more of a gamble at low level. Also all bombers in our current fleet (B52, B1, B2) have ejection seats

Yes. See this site on the "B52G egress sysem," with diagram.

Yes, it does, for all crew positions. (Read "Flight of the Old Dog" by Dale Brown sometimes)

yes, If you look carefully at the B52 crash, you will see the copilot ejecting, unfortunately he didn't make it.

Nope - most big bomber types don't.
