This article is in pretty good shape. I have a few comments:

Lead

cold war is a proper noun in this case, so Cold War

V-bombers as a term is a bit esoteric, should probably be introduced in terms of being the strategic nuclear bombers, just a suggestion

Under ~~the~~ Project E

Having introduced the V-bombers, we then find that the first to carry these bombs were Canberra's. Suggest also adding what year the Canberra's were replaced
Done Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
These were replaced by Vickers Valiant bombers as the long-range Avro Vulcan and Handley Page Victor replaced them in the strategic role doesn't make sense to me ie two replacements.

This may be answered earlier, but did Project E weapons equip Canberra's, in which case, it wasn't just V-bombers
Yes. Note that their replacement by the Valiants in the NATO role didn't mean the Canberras stopped carrying nuclear weapons. They just stopped carrying Project E weapons. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

suggest The McMahon Act was amended in August 1954 if that is what is meant

V-bomber and V-Bomber is used, I suggest choosing one. I'd also suggest that the term seems to refer only to strategic bombers, not tactical ones, but is also used to refer to all nuclear-capable bombers, including the Canberra, which was not a V-bomber. Perhaps the article should just refer to nuclear-capable bombers up to this point?
No, the terms refers to bombers with names starting in a V: Valiant, Vulcan and Victor. The first was a sort of interim design. It entered service first, but did not have the desired range. As the Victors and Vulcans became available, it was relegated to the tactical role. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Implementation

suggest specifying the Third Air Force was a US one

specify what SACEUR was before using the acronym
