摘要

In 1962, Capt. Tony McPeak was pulling Victor Alert in the F-100 at RAF Station Woodbridge in England. "My first Victor Alert (VA) target is the airfield at Peenemiinde, on the Baltic-the site of Germany's rocket-development effort during World War II and, at the moment, home station for an East German fighter regiment," Merrill A. McPeak, who went on to become Air Force Chief of Staff, writes in The Aerial View, a forthcoming book. "We keep a bulky target folder, which includes all these details, locked in a safe at the VA facility. In the event of a launch order, we'll grab this folder and take it with us as we run to the aircraft. But at night or in bad weather, an F-100 pilot would find it quite impossible to give much attention to maps, target photographs, checklists, and the like. Incapable of sustaining anything longer than momentary hands-off flight, the plane requires constant attention. In theory, if you memorized every detail of the planned flight, you could concentrate on flying the aircraft and just might find the target. At least, that's the premise.
