Have just finished reading Phoenix Squadron. Whilst a good military read, can I be the only person who wonders what all the fuss was about and why it merited a book?
OK, so the Bucc crews flew a long mission and they were operating in parameters that they weren't using on a day to day basis and it possibly stopped any hostilities breaking out. But we're talking about a 10 minute fly-by over Belize City ffs.
I suspect that the crews themselves wondered why they had suddenly come to attention nearly 40 years later about what was, to them, part of the day-to-day job.
Bit like eating a meringue - looks great and substantial but is just sugar and air and leaves you feel somewhat dissatisfied.
