Bob Dorr March 24, 2010. Robert F. Dorr (born September 11, 1939) is an author and retired American diplomat who has authored 70 books and numerous articles on international affairs, and military issues. Dorr served in the United States Air Force and spent 24 years as a Foreign Service Officer. Dorr published his first magazine article in 1955. In 2010, he was given an Achievement Award by the Air Force Historical Foundation for his work for the foundation. Thomas David Jones (born January 22, 1955) is a former United States astronaut. He completed four space shuttle flights before retiring in 2001. He flew on STS-59 and STS-68 in 1994, STS-80 in 1996 and STS-98 in 2001. His total mission time was 53 days 48 minutes.

Sixty-nine pilots and airmen died in the fight across the continent. The Groups 1,241 combat missions -- the daily confrontation of sudden, violent death -- forged bonds between these men that remain strong sixty years later. This book will tell their story, the story of the Hell Hawks. …
