Books by Ernest Gann
Title: The Black Watch
Author: Ernest Gann
This book was the last book published by Ernest Gann before his
death. "The Black Watch" is about pilots in a U-2 squandron. If you
don't know U-2s are the high altitude spy airplanes that are still
flown by the Airforce and the CIA (and NASA for doing high altitude
research).
The names are changed and the story is somewhat fictionalized, since
U2 operations are classified. The story is told from the point of
view of a pilot just joining the U-2 squadron based at the Beale
AFB in California.
