This highly researched book delves into the many military air crashes and disasters from the start of World War II until the end of the 1950's. Hundreds of crashes are listed, with the most prominent given separate chapter headings. No history of Minnesota would be complete without this chronicle of all of the military air events of the period. Minnesota was home to one of the largest Navy air installations during that time period, a fact not widely known to many who did not experience it first-hand. The author has researched the material for this book over a span of more than ten years. He has obtained previously classified documents from the Air Force, Navy, Marines and Army Air Corps.
