Captain Vriesenga presents a compilation of essays by 34 participants below the rank of major who contributed to the Gulf War.

They also reflect the pride and individual skill of the men and women who comprise the world's finest fighting force.Today's United States Air Force is one of the most complex of human endeavors-many thousands of people working together in hundreds of different specialties to defend America through control and exploitation of air and space. These specialties are interlocked and mutually supporting. This book may help you better understand how all that works as you read firsthand the experiences of the men and women who perform many of the specialties. In reading their stories, you'll also gain a better appreciation for the men and women themselves.

You'll experience their fear, frustration, fatigue, and boredom as well as their exhilaration and triumph.…
