The unthinkable has happened. The Soviet Union has
beaten the West in the technological stakes. It has
neutralised America’s nuclear arsenal with a killer laser
that can direct its superheated energy beam at targets
across the globe.
In a desperate attempt to counter this threat the United
States activates the one bomber in its fleet capable of
taking out the laser installation before it is too late: Old
Dog Zero One, a battle-scarred veteran B-52,
stripped of its antiquated hardware and rearmed with
the latest state-of-the-art weaponry.
In a suspenseful and spellbinding dramatisation of
aerial combat, the bomber and its crew will have to
challenge wave upon wave of surface-to-air missiles
and swarms of deadly MiG fighters.
Flight of the Old Dog is a gripping thriller about the
world of high-tech military aviation that few are
privileged to enter. Dale Brown kept me glued to the
chair, turning the pages as the aerial battle rose to a
shattering climax, a terrific flying yarn’
