C-130, the Hercules

I checked this book out from the library because I am in the Air Force and work with the C-130. The book was written around 1989 and it shows - many references to ops that are no longer used such as LAPES, MC-130 personnel retrieval, Military Airlift Command (MAC), and many more. Overall, it was a pretty well-written book that gave the reader a feel for how versatile, wide spread, and venerable the Hercules really is. Recommended for anyone interested in or working with the C-130 and for anyone interested in an introduction to this legendary airlifter.
