American MiGs
I couldn't find the 'good books' thread, so apologies for starting a new, related thread. (I'm sure this will get moved there ASAP.)
"Red Eagles: America's Secret Migs" is a great read.
Most of the story is told by the gents who flew the beasts as well as a few of the maintenance guys telling of their efforts to overcome the Soviet philosophy of 'use and discard' vs. the Western 'repair and replace.'
Sporty to make it all work to say the least.

Happy birthday to me, just ordered it myself.
Looking for another book as well. Heard mentioned on pprune before, a book that details of the first hours and days of war with the USSR as was defined by SIOP. I believe some bomber pilots (V force or B52 guys) talked about what their specific targets were and ingress routing to it. Ring a bell with anyone?

Also, anyone got any gen on Soviet battle plans for an invasion of WE? And I don't mean the Austria/Swiss route that's been touted here before.
