    Received the book today, #1 on my birthday list! Wonderful documentation of USAF air operations. Not sure I appreciate authors comment about 'photographs exist in a vacumn with little context'. Captions, or cutlines, are a to-the-point description of what you see, not a story. 'We' work very hard to gather what the viewer will see, and provide as much info as we can, in a short paragraph. Way to go, fellow Multimedia Photographers! Overall, outstanding historical documentation of Air Operations for 2006. Looking forward to 2007 version.
