We Were Crewdogs II - More B-52 Crewdog Tales

We Were Crewdogs II - More B-52 Crewdog Tales

This book continues the saga of the everyday lives of B-52 Crewdogs. It is the second in the series and contains 58 new stories by 30 authors associated with the B-52 operations. It is 1/3 larger than "We Were Crewdogs - The B-52 Collection".

Included is the story by an EW who was aboard a B-52 that was shot down over New Mexico by an Air National Guard F-100, a crewmember aboard a B-52 that had a mid-air with another B-52 on a Southeast Asian bombing mission, and a Crewdog who ejected from a Guam-launched BUFF into a typhoon and was rescued by a submarine.

â€œA captivating look at what B-52 crews faced in the Cold War and during the Vietnam era. So many politicians and journalists - too many - like to look at military life from 35,000 feet, so they can judge it. These are the stories of the men who actually flew at 35,000 feet, and the harrowing adventures and down-to-earth humor they shared. A rare and valuable perspective.â€ â€“ Bob Levey (Former Washington Post writer and radio host)

It is a 109 according to the Falcon Code (a copy of which is included in this collection).
