Many of our members will be interested to know that TD Barnes, former Radar Specialist at Area 51 and a regular poster in this forum, has published a book about Aviation History in Nevada and about his career, including the years he worked at Area 51. With the recent declassification of the Oxcart project Barnes is finally free to share his stories of life in the world of Black Projects, at the world's most secret Air Base. This is an incredible account of someone who _really_ worked inside Area 51! Thank you, TD, for sharing your story with us! "Soaring With The Eagles" is available to order as E-book in various formats at the attached link. From the description:
"Soaring With The Eagles is a nonfiction declassified account of the aerospace and aviation pioneers and veterans of the battle born state of Nevada. The legacy of the veterans of American’s black projects in Nevada are synonymous with the legacy of the state itself and its contribution to winning America’s wars. Soaring With The Eagles follows the life of Thornton D. "TD" Barnes through Nevada’s Black World activities during the arms, nuclear, and space races that made it America’s battlefield of World War II, the cold war and all the wars since."
