The book is about flying as an enlisted crew member with a Combat Cargo/freight hauling Troop Carrier unit in a US Air Force that has passed into history. It is also about a profession that has also passed into history --Airborne Radio Operators who flew in a time when most communications were in Morse code. The story is a personal account of my flying experiences as an Airborne Radio Operator in the Air Force of the 1950s during the Cold War. The everyday life of a flying enlisted man is done in some detail with some humor, some nostalgia, and some stark terror, too. The scope covers everywhere from Greenland to India, and all points in between, and recalls how it was to live like a Gypsy in all those places. Anyone who flew in the USAF from the 30s to the 50s will love this story.Lunsford, Charles is the author of 'Departure Message Chronicles of an Airborne Raido Operator' with ISBN 9781588982315 and ISBN 1588982319.
