desertcart.com: Collision Over Vietnam: A Fighter Pilot's Story of Surviving the ARC Light One Tragedy: 9781596528369: Harten, Don: Books

Review: Nice Insight into Evolution of B-52's Mission - Very informal style and a very quick read. I found it very informative about the responsibilities of a B-52 crew. It is a classic story of survivor's guilt. I wanted more about the claim that the mission, if executed, likely would have ended the Vietnam War. Based on my assessment, it was the author's opinion based on his pride of his branch of service. That is not a criticism but an observation; and it may be correct. But I was hoping for more analysis and perspective as well as the stated objective of the mission. I am a military veteran having served in Iraq. The disconnect between staff planners at headquarters and the military members on the ground that led to the mid-air collision has yet to be fixed.
Review: A must read for any military aviation enthusiast - What an enthralling story in the life of a co-pilot. Not to "wordy", just a very moving and frank description of his career up to the mid air collision and conclusion. Mr. Harten provides some excellent insight into the life and experiences of a Strategic Air Command Co-pilot during the cold war. Hope Kindle offers his other book "Arc Light" in the not to near future. As a former career Air Force enlisted man and C-130 aircrew member as well as aviation enthusiast, I highly recommend this book
