The Distant Early Warning line (DEW)was still an idea to be addressed by the U.S. government and its top military brass. “Willy Victor and 25knothole” is about that vital cog of airborne defense against the real threat of a sneak attack (atomic and/ orairborne) against the American mainland. Bruce Jarvis, former naval flight crew member, recounts theoperations of his Airborne Early Warning Squadron (AEWRON) experience, flying in a Lockheed SuperConstellation Warning Star ( Navy designation Willy Victor-2) in support of the DEW line that became fullyoperable in the year 1957. It introduces readers to the flyers’ lives during the Cold War, and with littlefanfare (but much moxie) recalls the unknown heroism of some of the front line troops in the form of afictional but typical crew of naval airmen, of the now defunct conflict between Russia and the United States.Although the crew is fictional, their stories are true.The entire U.S. air defense effort was conceptualized bywhat is known as the Lincoln Summer Study Group in 1952. It was in response to the panic in NORAD ( theNorth American Defense Command ) when “bogeys” or aircraft contrails were spotted near northern CanadatheU.S. had neither warning nor the means to combat its threat, if any. Had Kruschechev so chosen, thebogeys could have been the vanguard of a Russian first strike on the heart of America. The stories in “WillyVictor and 25 knothole” include purposes of the AEWRON missions, their importance, the people who flewthem, personal anecdotes, their ground crews, their families and women and their sad or happy moments. Itshows the human face of a war mostly fought in the rarefied scientific/technological and secret ops realms.Bruce Jarvis has taken good care in writing this book so that Americans may know and not forget the fewgood men who put their lives on the line during the cold war to protect the United States of America.
