Mad as Hell: The Cold War, the Strategic Air Command, and the FB-111A Bomber (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798717775090)

This is the paperback Edition 3 with black & white images
"MAD AS HELL" is a memoir describing the Cold War, the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC), and the rarely recognized strategic nuclear weapons bomber - the two-man FB-111A aircraft. Events take place between 1975 and 1979. The title is a double entendre referring to the wartime strategy of "Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD)." It is written by a former US Air Force career officer who piloted the bomber and is a Cold War warrior. In Part I, he writes about the United States' Cold War strategies, the wartime organizations, the role and tools of its deterrent forces, the training, and the experiences of the FB-111A crews who would serve as the leading spear for a nuclear weapons conflict. In Part II, the author turns to a fictional, very realistic, narrative about the FB-111A as its two "Crew Dogs" fly their nuclear bomb-loaded war machine to destroy enemy targets.
