TRUCKBUSTERS FROM DOGPATCH: The Combat Diary of the 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing in the Korean War, 1950-1953

Truckbusters From Dogpatch: The Combat Diary of the 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing in the Korean War, 1950-1953, is the incredible story of the men--pilots, ground crew and supporting elements--whose achievements and records during that bloody conflict made U. S. Air Force history. Their story is told as much as possible in their own words and photographs--taken from monthly unit history reports, personal recollections, memoirs, scrap books and faded snap shots. Truckbusters becomes for the reader a gritty, dusty, tent city full of the sounds, smells and character of those who served with the 18th in Korea--pilots, ammorers, mechanics, clerks, medics, and supply sergeants--who still live and speak and fret and worry about how to keep their "Spam Cans" flying. "Truckbusters" is compelling reading for the Veteran as well as the interested reader wishing to understand what air combat is really like." --Col. Charles E. McGee, USAF (Ret). "The story of this awesome and unique a Wing is long overdue. It is a saga that clearly illustrates the gathering and performance of the best, brightest and bravest group of combat fighter pilots and their exceptional support personnel that I have ever known." --Lt. Gen.
