| Comment: Last year I published a book with Air
University Press looking at the evolution and effectiveness of WWMCCS.
Right now I'm almost done with a history of the Defense Communications
Agency and System. The upcoming project--actually about half done
already--will be "Big L," a history of the Air Force's Big L programs,
which of course includes White Alice. The web site is terrific, by the
way; but if anyone has additional stories, anecdotes, or accounts, I'd
love to hear them. | ||
