Fantastic account of the Weather Service, April 13, 2004
By Shane Carroll (Jacksonville, FL United States) - See all my
reviews

I started with this book in the hope to learn more about my own
grandfather's service in the 2nd Weather Recon Squadron during WWII. I
discovered that plus more on the leaders of the USAAF like Hap Arnold,
Curtis LeMay, Richard Ellsworth and even his squadrons CO James Baker.
This is the definitive look at the weather service's military
beginnings, future and personnel. Even if "weather" does not exist in
your understanding of how the military works, this will be an
enjoyable read. The inner conflict within the AAF and Army is touched
upon and each 20th Century conflict and the imporatance each laid upon
Weather forcasts. D-Day was give the go by Gen Eisenhower based upon a
weatherman. Why read this? If you love WWII, if you love the Air Force
and if you are a current member of the Armed Forces.
