""If you have an appreciation for thorough research, you need to read this book. As a former B-52 crew member, the author's description rekindled my emotions when carrying nuclear weapons on Chrome Dome missions. Her realistic descriptions of the final moments of flight and the use of a survival kit transport you to being a crew member. She also captured the essence of the willingness of the local population to endure horrible weather to aid in rescue efforts. A terrific read!"" Roger H. Williams, Major, United States Air Force, Retired ""Linda Sittig not only captures the historical role aviation played in our national defense but gives us a true sense of the men who flew this aircraft, their families, and the ordinary citizens determined to find the missing airmen in the aftermath of this tragedy."" Captain Laura Savino, Pilot, United Airlines, Retired
