Publisher's Synopsis
The memoire of Major Richard Montalvo, Jr., B-52G aircraft commander, flight commander, and assistant operations officer describing his journey from the grape fields of the San Joaquin Valley where he worked as a Mexican American migrant worker, to the cockpit of America's most lethal aerial weapons system. He takes his readers on a wild, never before experienced ride through the dark foreboding aerial trenches of the Cold War and vividly relates what it was like for SAC's pilots to fly the nuclear armed B-52G during this tense and brinksmanship-based period of our history.
