5.0 out of 5 stars Tells of the performing mascot's importance to the Academy, October 10, 2004

This review is from: Falconry at the United States Air Force Academy: The Story of the Cadets' Unique Performing Mascot (Paperback)

When a new American military academy was being planned and it needed a mascot - but not just any old bird; one which would represent the U.S. Air Force Academy's mission of flying and fighting. It seemed the falcon would best fit the bill, and Falconry At The United States Air Force Academy tells of the performing mascot's importance to the Academy, as well as the overall history of falconry.
