    Hell of an experience!
  

*by H***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2020*

I enjoyed the book, the authors Bio. Myself USAF served at Bien Hoa Air Base Vietnam 1967-68 as a weapons mechanic [loaded weapons on fighters ie: bombs, etc.] and was TDY to Guam 1968-69 and loaded "Iron" [bombs] on the B-52D's, and loaded nuclear weapons on B-52H's at Minot AFB, North Dakota. Would love to meet the author.

    Excellent documentary on the Arc Light Operation
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2017*

Excellent documentary on the Arc Light Operation.  I was part of the MITO take off  from Mather AFB Don Harten describes in the book.  I remember the details of our deployment and the subsequent accident very well.  I was in security and  remember some of the crews involved and remember talking with Major Gehrig.  I also remember Sgt. Neville and Capt. Robertson.  It was a very sad day for Mather AFB, America, SAC and the USAF

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2015*

I am struggling to continue reading this book and I am only on page 70, about one-third of the way through the book. At this point, I would have to take issue with his preface that certain people kept him focused on his story.  On point, this book is about the world according to the author, Don Harten.  The digressions are mercilessness; World II, Korea, Cuba, the history of the Cold War, flying the Artic circle, the origins of the Vietnam War, etc., etc., ad nauseam, ad nauseam.  This book is a complication of digressive ruminations by the author of the history of United States nuclear doctrine and its affect on diplomacy.  Yes, there are tidbits of enlightening information about flying the B-52, but not enough to warrant the struggle to read this book.I also struggled with Lt. Col. Jay Lacklen's book entitled "Flying the Line", supposedly about SAC training and missions during the Viet Nam War.  I was able to suffer the first third of book until I had had enough of his travelogues BOQ's and reviews of Officer Clubs, interspersed occasionally with unsolicited sexual overtures by various women.I have come to the conclusion, unfortunately, that these B-52 pilots have sought to capitalize on the genre military memoirs yet are constrained  by the ultra secrecy of their weapons of choice. Maybe.
