Great book suggestion, Chris.

For a detailed examination of the B-52 crash, and related human factors, I highly recommend Tony Kern’s engrossing book “Darker Shades of Blue: The Rogue Pilot” (http://northslopepublications.com/).

In reply to somanyminutes.

Excellent review, and I look forward to reading the book.

One quibble: I initially thought Mellberg had both caused the crash and committed the shooting–obviously I was a bit confused as to the timeline.

A bit of googling revealed pilot Lt. Col. “Bud” Holland crashed the B-52.
