"Very nice book. It teaches reality" according to tebysavoia. Exactly that I expect! Very nice book. It teaches reality.. Young, pens another great true story Richard Hill Ups delivered this book at 1pm I scanned it at work and have spent most of the night reading the book. This is as true as it gets, every comment made by the Members of the 167th shows the professionalism of the West Virginia Air Guard members. For 130 operators and maintainers this book is a must.

It's about the people who were there, doing the job, and not the sanitized or outrageous versions of events that we see on the news
