"In the early 1950s it was not unusual to see the high altitude contrails of USAF B-36s over England. 385 were built and, commonly dubbed "Six Turning, Four Burning" thanks to its six piston and four jet engines. The development of the B-36 is fully described and there is considerable coverage of the political issues including competition from the Northrop flying wing. We see the B-36 into services with SAC, and we well remember al those contrails over Britain in the 1950s as the B-36s flew over. This is a readable history..."

This was a fantastic look into what was going on with JFK’s assassination. It had a great case about what happened and was researched in a way that worked overall.

This is the first book I have seen in this series of books from the author. Not really a text book to be simply read from start to finish, but the most amazing reference book on the ships of the US Navy, and in this case Destroyers. The author is a US Navy veteran of 32-years, a combat veteran of tours in the Vietnam War and so clearly a very knowledgeable man who has dedicated a great deal of time in assembling this amazing reference.

In this book we have details of the Destroyers of the Clemson Class (over 156 vessels!), the Farragut Class (8 vessels), Porter Class (8 vessels), Mahan Class (16.. Read more
