Rising to the occasion of its subject, this is a handsome gift book that is also the most detailed and endlessly fascinating examination of Air Force One to date. Written to appeal to a wide spectrum of readers, from the simply curious to enthusiasts of Americana, and to those with serious aircraft and military interests. The world's most commanding aircraft. Maintained to the peak of perfection, with elegant markings and gleaming surfaces, Air Force One sets an impressive stage for the Head of the Free World. This book includes historic moments on Air Force One, such as the swearing-in of Lyndon B Johnson following JF Kennedy's assignation. But the book also presents many interior photos not seen previously, and amazing information about the plane itself that has not been published in a single volume before. As America learned on September 11th, 2001, Air Force One is significantly more than a plane to ferry the President about. Since the 1950s, in the height of the Cold War, Air Force One has been a critical defense item in the protection of the President; a plane designed to function as a superbly outfitted mobile command center, with all available technologies to allow for the full functioning of the government under siege. The author is a Korean War and Special Operations veteran, and a retired foreign service diplomat who worked with the Air Force wing in charge of Air Force One on the production of this book.
