Rarely is there a mention of the ARMY spooks that flew in the Q. In particular the four Army fatalities that were part of the crew of VQ-2 WV-2Q (EC-121) JQ-15 BuNo 131390 flying out of Wiesbaden WG that crashed on 22 May 1962.

On this topic I would suggest
– By Any Means Necessary: America’s Secret Air War in the Cold War –
I thought it was both interesting and a good read. And thank you for this book to read.
