3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By James D. Crabtree "Doc Crabtree" (Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gulf War: Desert Shield and Desert Storm, 1990-1991 (G.I. Series) (Paperback)
I should have loved this book but instead I found it wanting. I may not be an expert in everything Army but I do know Air Defense Artillery and in two spots the book has incorrect designations on photo captions, including one of air defenders from our sister unit, C Battery, 2nd Battalion, 1st ADA... NOT "21st ADA" as there is no such animal. Also, some of the info was not correct... Patriot at that time was one type of high-to-medium surface-to-air missile system which was more capable than HAWK but also more vulnerable (because it lacks a 360 degree surveillance capability). Both systems complimented each other. However, HAWK stood down during the Clinton administration with no replacement.
This book does have some good photos. However, given the mistakes I see already I don't think it does this series justice, which is a shame as I've always liked the G.I. books. |
