THUNDERHEADS is an intricate work with emphasis placed on missions flown during WW-II, the Berlin Airlift, Korea, and Vietnam. It is a book about the reality of war and reality of the lives of those who choose this profession. From bombing in a B-29 Superfortress in the hostile skies over Japan, to dodging North Vietnamese SAM's and killing MIG's in an F4 Phantom - And everything inbetween. With hisorical footnotes added to put the reader not only in the cockpit, but also in the context of the times in which these events took place.
THUNDERHEADS is an absolute must read for anyone interested in the true history of American military aviation.
"...Aside from the action-packed description of combat missions, the book is laced with technical, as well as historical references. The reader follows the development of air power and tactics employed flying and fighting in the P-51 Mustang to the F-4 Phantom. What I think sets this book apart is that it provides an interesting glimpse into the mind of a career military flyer, and the stresses one faces along with their family. It is a book about the reality of war and reality of the lives of those who choose this profession. With 35 years of service to his country, numerous decorations and citations, Col. Misterly is an authority on the subject." - Frank Almstead, Editor: WARBIRD FLYER MAGAZINE
"Should bridge the gap between veterans and non-veterans, military aviation buffs and readers who simply like a good yarn, and take their History straight." - Major General Francis (Frank) Nye USAF (Ret.)
