We
Were Crew Dogs is best described as a lifetime anthology of of stories contributed by B52 crew members. It consists of 8 volumes and 3 themed selections dealing with Linebacker 2, the Vietnam War and Emergencies and Incidents. Inevitably there is duplication in the individual contributions and some are more interesting or entertaining than others. However, the books do describe the nitty gritty of life in SAC in its heyday with life being ruled by the alert schedule. There are also some excellent accounts of the lengthy airborne alert sorties - Chrome Dome - that are of some historical value as the crew members who flew on them are now a small and rapidly diminishing cohort. One of the later volumes contains a rare account of cooperation between Harpoon armed B52s and the Nimrod in the anti-ship role.
Worth reading a couple of volumes to get the flavour. As well as the linked website they’re also available from the well known South American river.
