DOOM 34 is the first behind-the-scenes, insider's recounting of a high-stakes mission that changed the course of modern combat. Code-named "Senior Surprise" and nicknamed "Secret Squirrel," the mission selected 57 airmen (only one of which had any real combat experience) to fly seven B-52s that were well past their prime on a 35-hour, non-stop flight that was plagued with unforeseen complications from the moment of take-off. Trey Morriss was the electronic warfare officer on one of the B-52s-DOOM 34-and had a front row seat to what went down. This book focuses on his experience along with his seven crewmen.

Trey Morriss is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel with thirty-one years of service, serving and supporting the legendary Eighth Air Force. His love of aviation runs deep--shaped by stories of his grandfather and uncle, who flew combat missions over Europe in World War II. Early in his career, Morriss took part in a top-secret, record-setting strike that opened Operation Desert Storm--the longest combat mission of its time and a turning point in modern warfare. He later flew 32 combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan following 9/11. He's a decorated veteran and sought-after keynote speaker. He lives in Louisiana with his wife, and they cherish time with their five adult children and three grandchildren.
