This is the first effort at collecting untold stories about what it was really like to be a crewmember in a B Stratofortress aircraft. It is told first hand by the only ones who can really tell the story - those who were actually there.

This first book has a great collection of stories and laid the groundwork for additional volumes in this series. The later books are a little larger and have more stories, but this one sets the stage for those with a collection of acronyms used throughout the series and some great stories you will not find anywhere else. If you, or anyone you know was a crewmember, then this will tell the story of what it was all about.

Here is a collection of stories told by 17 contributing authors who were former Crewdogs crew members in the US Air Force B Stratofortress. Several of these contributors are well-known authors of their own books and lend their skills to this collection. Included are stories by a crew member of the first B shot down over Hanoi during Linebacker II and the pilot of the last B shot down over Vietnam.

The day-to-day life of Nuclear Alert is the subject of many tales. Not all are war stories. Some are humorous insights into personal recollections of things that happened, but have never before been told. The book includes aircraft and crew photos and photos from alert tours and Guam and U-Tapao, the bases that were used to launch bombing missions, including Linebacker II strikes.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I've already reviewed this Series of books under a different part number. My comments remain unchanged. These are truly wonderful stories - recollections that certainly do nee to be recorded and told. Sadly, I think Mr. Towery has misplaced his editor's cap.

There Is NO perceived editing and in most cases it appears that an author's original text is simply pasted into production, without regard for spelling, context, organization or anything else. With only minimal work, these several collections could be of significant value. Where is the genuine 'class' that these flight officers - and the odd enlisted gunner - deserve? Lastly, in mentioning the 'enlisted' gunners, one of six on a typical crew, I really would like to hear a lot more about how these senior NCOs were treated.

How were these gentlemen treated during extended TDY assignments? How were they quartered? Where did they eat? As time allowed, where did they drink their beer? Were they admitted to the O'Clubs as genuine Crewdogs, or were they dumped at the curb?

I also served during some of these years. I also would like to hear a lot more about Crewdog's experiences, but please - oh please Were they genuine crew members, or were they lunch box and poop bucket servants? This series CAN be improved and without a lot of work One person found this helpful. A great read but shows a much more cavalier perspective than I experienced. Largest complement of B and KC squadrons ever neatly nestled behind multiple mountain ranges protected by the Zone boggy man.

Ringed by many Atlas missile sites. Hugh base with world's largest mega weapon nuclear bomb dump. This perspective only lasted a limited number of years before the accuracy of the ICBM defeated the benefits of the centralized strike force.
