Reviews

This book fills an important niche by tracing the history and importance of West Point in the evolution of the US Air Force. That importance was enormous. The West Point ethos and shared experiences shaped the air arm that we have today. Excellent work. --Phillip S. Meilinger, Col, USAF (Ret.)
