Flight of the Old Dog Dale Brown 9780425195185 Books

As the introductory book by Dale Brown, the "Flight of the Old Dog" is a classic techno-thriller from the waning days of the cold war. If you want to know how real crew-dogs of the B-52 BUFFs actually fly, this is the book. At the time it was written the public knowledge of how "stealth" worked was very different from reality. The fact that the B-52's terrain-following radar actually served as a "beacon" for Soviet fighter coverage makes the plot implausible for today (read "Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed by Ben R. Rich" for details). If you can ignore that issue, it is an enjoyable read for one raised in the 50's and 60's cold war era.

Great story. Fun read.
Am working on getting the entire series.
Was listed as unabridged version, this is the condensed book /abridged version
Had to find a copy to replace my old one that I left in a hotel....wasn't my first reading either! Dale Brown writes some outstanding books, its in his history and its in his blood!!
I found the book to be a very enjoyable read. As some of the previous reviews noted, there was the occasional lapse into technological jargon that was a bit difficult to comprehend, but as a Dale Brown, Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler fan I didn't find myself feeling out of my depth. I'm glad I bought it and I'm glad I read it. Really gutsy move by Dave Lugar to get them off the ground again.
The Old Dog is no more than an Old B52 Bomber that has been refit for not only offensive air attack but can now protect itself with many high-tech defensive weapons and stealth ability. It has been completely refitted to be a stealth bomber. It is just a prototype of what will be used on the B-1 Bombers that are going to take out a Russian Target. A target that has developed a Laser Beam that is initiated from the ground but bounced off a Soviet Satellite shooting down American spy planes and American Satellites. Well the B-1 sent to destroy this weapon of Mass destruction have been found out by the Soviets. What to do now? Enter the Old Dog! Fast, Fast Paced............. You will love it!
The listing is confusing. It says "Audiobook, Abridged, MP3-CD, Unabridged." I didn't read closely enough - just saw the last part."
