Into The Wild Blue Yonder

In 1943, Allan T. Stein left Texas A&M University for Lackland Air Field to learn to fly. By the time he retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1969, he had flown everything from BT-13s and B-24s to B-52s and C-47s. This is his account of his career as an air force officer, with its frustrations, moral dilemmas and the occasional harrowing experience.
