Worth reading to learn the story of how the Wild Weasels contributed to the Gulf War (and some of the Vietnam history too). Sometimes confusing/hard to keep track of whose story is being told at any given point in the book since many aircrew contributed their individual stories. I did not appreciate the critical, denigrating comments about tanker pilots with no opportunity to defend their actions/provide their side of the story - it comes off as an unnecessary cheap shot against fellow service members trying to do their jobs under no doubt difficult circumstances. The same harsh criticisms were not equally applied to the many Weasel pilots who flamed out their own engines at missile launch, for example. It's not a very deep book in terms of research, e.g. were the SAM site attacks described in each story effective? What do the official post-attack reconnaissance/battle damage assessment and intelligence records indicate? It feels somewhat incomplete and unsatisfying to read "the radar went off the air at the time our missile would have struck, so either we destroyed it, or the enemy crew shut it off temporarily...". Maybe that's just the nature of the beast (i.e. no records exist due to the fast-moving war scenario), but if they do exist, the stories may have been made more complete via historical research? In summary, the book provides a lot of insight into the difficult missions, flying conditions (and living conditions) faced by the Wild Weasel pilots, but it's a little rough around the edges and could use some historical research to completely flesh out their story.
I really enjoyed this book. I flew as a Navy EA-6B Prowler crewman in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, tasked with suppression of air defenses. Though a different aircraft, service, and conflict, I found this account very similar to my own experience, capturing perfectly many of the emotions and considerations involved in that type of mission, one not often written about. On top of that, the narrative flow is excellent, making the book a great read. Not only are the descriptions of combat vivid, but the brief descriptions of expeditionary living conditions back at base are also enjoyable. One more factor that makes this book a gem is that it represents an account of the last major combat employment of the legendary F-4 Phantom.Highly recommended for any reader interested in modern air power at war, and any reader who appreciates a vivid, personal narrative that puts you in the moment. When my sons are old enough, I will encourage them to read this book to get a feel for my own wartime flying experiences.
I was in the desert too in 1991, even though I was an Avionics Specialist on the F-16's out of Moody AFB I really can feel what you went through. I didn't see SAM's and AAA but I did live the missions when our pilots would return from their mission. Without the Weasels there might have been a totally different outcome to Desert Storm. Thanks for your talent and loyalty to your country.
having participated in Desert Shield Desert Storm as an electronics technician on C-130s i could relate to the tent city life, the chow, sheer terror followed by endless boredom when we going home? And to get some onsite on a fine aircraft the F-4 Phantom. I was an electrician on F-4s during the linebacker operation 1971-1972. with the 8th TAC FTR Wing Ubon RTAFB. home of the Wolfpack! Thanks again for a great book
I liked the book, I felt it was an easy read where you were able to learn about what it was like to be in a wild weasel unit on deployment during the gulf war. You learn lots of little bits of information that you won’t discover in a normal overview of military operations. I was hoping for a perhaps broader view of wild weasel operations during the war and some more operation stories, but overall the focus on the personal experiences during the war was enlightening enough to make it a satisfying book to read.
Memories! I worked weapons on the Weasels in Operation Southern Watch, 1993-1994, and there were pilots and planes I remember well.Excellent History.
Good read the facts are finally coming out on what is going on with the troops and flyers in the Asian theatre. It's a weird world out there and the "media" as usual is hyping the situation sideways to the commitment and hardships our people are experiencing.
I don't know if it's images of the wild west or of a mad man, but facing a SAM head on takes a gutsy pilot. Here in vivid detail is the Weasel war over Iraq and the fourth largest army in the world. Written in a no nonsense manner, it accurately reflects both the rush of combat and the pain of deployment. The appendices are equally valuable with a trove of interesting data. This book is a must have for anyone who enjoys military history.
