What: |
World War II had Catch 22. Korea had M*A*S*H. Vietnam now has Yankee Air Pirates. | ||||
| In the winter of 1972, President Nixon ordered Operation Linebacker II, the most massive aerial bombing campaign since the end of World War II. Yankee Air Pirates is the story of the young men that flew the massive B52s into the jaws of death and, for the most part, lived to tell about it. | |||||
| Yankee Air Pirates describes this campaign through the eyes of Spike, Bulldog, D-Kid, and the many other crewdogs who flew the massive Stratofortress on these dangerous missions. In the 11 nights of bombing, 15 of the huge planes were shot down. | |||||
| Yankee Air Pirates is hilarious, moving, thought provoking, insightful and always entertaining. Whatever you think of the wars this nation has fought, Yankee Air Pirates will make you proud to know the individuals who have fought them for the rest of us. | |||||
