USAF F-101B mentions

Just been reading the book “MiG Alley to Mu Ghia Pass” which is essentially the operational history of Cecil G. Foster. It’s a light read (148pp trade paperback) about a Korean War F-86 ace, who also flew F-4 from Danang during the Vietnam conflict. In between, he commanded a F-101B squadron (29th FIS) in the continental USA. The F-101 only occupies 2 short chapters in the book, but does include mention of emergency deployment during the Cuban Missile Crisis with nuclear weapons (Genie Air-to-Air “rockets”, unguided so not really missiles). It’s more anecdotal, as told from the author’s viewpoint, rather than a technical analysis, but all the same very readable on a bus ride in the morning.
