3.0 out of 5 stars Crewdog, February 28, 2000

By	Michael (Cleveland, ohio) - See all my reviews

With only one other review I had to write and give my opinion. I had the opportunity to view this book at my local hobby shop. Because of the price I decided to look at Amazon - BUT - I found this book to be extremely interesting in its content. Being an old SAC crewdog, it brought back alot of great memories of a proud service and the people that made it work. Most of the photos were obviously taken by members of SAC while on duty. Not an easy task given the security measures we all had to follow. While it may not win any awards for its photography, I find the book to be accurate and a must have. I must admit that my preview of the book was only 90 minutes long. The owner asked if I was going to buy it because he wasn't operating a reading room. I'm sure once a copy is in my library my rating number will be a 5.

WOW -- what an emotional experience reading this book was! If you have lived it, you will love the book. Recommended for all "SAC orphans" who spent their lives under that umbrella and would do it all again in a heartbeat.
