During decades of Cold War tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, American and Soviet air crews regularly interacted with one another in an unsung, unusual, and - until now - unknown program called Constant Shotgun. In this groundbreaking memoir, retired Air Force Colonel Glenn R. Whicker recalls sitting side-by-side with the Soviets through unbelievable and life-threatening stunts, tender heart-to-hearts, and behind-the-scenes moments from some of the most important turning points of the Cold War.
Come, fly along with him in Soviet transports, including the world's largest aircraft, the Antonov 225. Travel through Siberia, Cuba, Newfoundland and Alaska as he and other escort pilots ensure safety in America's skies.
