Pigeons to Peshawar
I have more than a story. I have a book, "Pigeons to Peshawar", (Friesen Press, 2014, 428 pages) that includes nearly 4 years at Albuqerque flying A-F models, 1962-1966. In the book I talk about the last phase of nuclear atmospheric testing, Project Dominic, using the B-57D aircraft while TDY to NAS Barbers Point, HI. At the end of testing, we continued cold sampling with B-C- and E model shortwings over the northern US, Canada, and Alaska. We even got a few A-models from the squadron in Alaska that we flew for 6 months or so. I was there and was one of the first navigators to checkout in the new WB-57F.
