    About SAC and the history of 'countdown to nuclear annihilation'.

    Lots of discussion of aircraft; B-29, B-36, B-47, B-52, B-58... pics.

    Pretty quick read... I grew up during some of this.

    Couple errors... "Republic F-86" (fighter that collided with a B-47 carrying a nuke that was 'dumped' in a bay.

    Good read.

    Thanks for the heads up.......SAC, and our enemies understanding that they would do what said they could do, is the reason we are still here today. Gonna by the book right now.

    Did a search... the F-86 (thought he might have meant a 'Republic F-84) was a

    North American F-86L ...it had the 'big nose' radar cone that, I think, started with the F-86D.

    Book also gives some discussion of world events, Coup in Iraq, Sinai Peninsula probs...from the basis of SAC.
