DOOM 34: A Firsthand Account of the Top-Secret Mission that Launched Operation Desert Storm

by Trey Morriss, Boni Peluso (Primary Contributor)

DOOM 34 is the first behind-the-scenes, insider's recounting of a high-stakes mission that changed the course of modern combat. It combines the fast-paced, breathless development of a highly classified, innovative weapon with the selection and training of untested that executed this top-secret, Black Ops mission in the run-up to Operation Desert Storm. A mission the pushed the limits of human endurance and mechanical design.

Code-named "Senior Surprise" and nicknamed "Secret Squirrel," the mission selected 57 airmen (only one of which had any real combat experience) to fly seven B-52s that were well past their prime on a 35-hour, non-stop flight that was plagued with unforeseen complications from the moment of take-off.

Trey Morriss was the electronic warfare officer on one of the B-52s--DOOM 34--and had a front row seat to what went down. This book focuses on his experience along with his seven crewmen.
