Flying from the Black Hole: The B-52 Navigator-Bombardiers of Vietnam
By Robert O. Harder (B.A. '66)
Naval Institute Press, 2009
U.S. Air Force navigators and bombardiers have long labored under the shadow of pilots, their contributions misunderstood or simply unknown to the public. This was especially the case with the B-52's non-pilot, officer air crewmen. Yet without them it would have been impossible to execute nuclear war strike plans or flying Vietnam conventional bombing sorties. Here, one of their own reveals who these men were and what they did down in the "Black Hole." It is the only work to detail the B-52 Vietnam air war from the perspective of a navigator-bombardier.
