This book might be a good historical reference, but I found it nearly impossible to finish this book. I read it in its entirety, but it never held my interest. It was a real struggle to stay interested. I also found the writing style to be pretty poor.
A little dry at times, but still good reading to see how the Air Force gained its covetted separte identity from the Army. Also tells how
Robert McNamara bungled their efforts in Vietnam.

It was a good book. A little dry in some areas.
