Mass loss is known to take place across the H-R diagram, but nowhere is it more pronounced than in the upper left hand corner of that figure. Here, winds from luminous stars peel away a solar mass in a million years or less. The winds of the Of, OB supergiants, and W-R stars have received the most attention because they are so readily studied. Their effect on stellar evolution is significant also. On the other hand, it is the B stars whose variability has been most thoroughly studied with IUE, undoubtedly because historically these stars have been known to vary. This review concentrates on the current state of the observational understanding of stellar winds, with particular emphasis on how the observations fit various theoretical predictions.
