Paperback. Etat : Good. The author served on an aerial reconnaissance crew in the Strategic Air Command from 1963 through 1970. Their missions, known colloquially as ferret sorties, were flown around the periphery of the Communist Block countries. The early part of the period the author discusses was in the years immediately following the Cuban Missile Crisis, a time of heightened tension between the Soviet Union and the United States. Their missions were frequently routine in nature, often interesting but occasionally tragic. This is the story of life as a reconnaissance air crew member during that period. It includes descriptions of broader policy perspectives as well as anecdotal incidents. The book targets those with an interest in military affairs but is detailed enough that those with little background in military affairs might be able to put themselves in the shoes of a reconnaissance crew member in the time period. A Raven, in this context, is an Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO). EWOs were the eyes and ears that justified placing a military aircraft and its crew in harm's way.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. While the baby boomer generation gets a lot more press (not to mention prestige) these days, author Peter F. Young isn't ready to let war babies-those born between 1938 and 1946-fade into the night without a turn in the spotlight. Like others in his generation, Young came of age during the early years of rock 'n' roll-and promptly fell in love with the so-called devil's music. Like scores of other kids in small towns across America, Young not only worshipped rock stars, he dreamed of becoming one himself. But, unlike most of those other kids, he almost made it. In this charming, irreverent, and hilarious memoir, Young recalls his boyhood and teenage years in the small towns of rural Vermont and Northern New York State, home of the almost-famous Mike & the Ravens. Despite their shoddy equipment and decidedly un-rock 'n' roll upbringings, Young and his band mates managed to get signed by a record company, become regionally famous, pull a ton of stunts-including causing a rock album to be played over a church's robust belfry speaker system at 2:00 a.m. and land in jail like real rock stars-and still grow up to become productive, contributing members of society.…
