Steve Davies has put together a well-researched history of the 4477th Red Eagles from early concept to final operations in the late 1980's. This book is a fantastic read and runs through the evolution of the USAF and USN Aggressors, the early "HAVE" programs, and offers some great insight into how all those black 'compartmentalized' programs are put together and made operational. It also gives an insider's view into the politics and personalities that ran TAC during this era, including some real dicks like Creech, Kempf, Dugan and Russ, who eventually shut the whole CONSTANT PEG operation down.
We all knew the Red Eagles existed and while some of us were lucky enough to fly against them, I'd be willing to bet there's also a few Dooferbook members who have logged some MiG time in their careers. Don't be afraid to chime in on one of the coolest things to come out of 'Area 51'!
