This review is from: Phase three alert: A novel (Hardcover)

Quite a wonderful read. John Ball describes the fiction exploits of a group of US Air Force personnel that discover an abandoned B-17E on the Greenland ice cap. Using their C-130, and a variety of excuses (and trying to keep their commanders "officially" in the dark), the manage to bring the B-17 back in pieces to restore it back to flying condition.

This takes place at Thule AFB, Greenland, one of the mose desolate places on earth. The descriptions of life above the arctic circle are perticularly interesting.

I recommend this book to anyone with even the slightest interest in aviation.
