The Buried Dot

The Buried Dot is a story about a unique collection of young men, who in 1956—a year before the first American passenger jet had flown—came together to learn to fly the incredible new machines born of the Jet Age. Their experiences encompassed thrill, accomplishment and prestige, along with fear and self-doubt as the reality of the gauntlet they had accepted came to meet them head-on at a closing rate of 1300 miles per hour in the night skies over the deserts of the western U.S. They would fill the gap for a brief few years, until the missiles took over, as the last line of defense for American cities faced with atomic attack during the cold war. And for some of these young warriors, it was a shock to learn that they would be asked to sacrifice their lives in this endeavor.Ramsey, James W. is the author of 'The Buried Dot', published 2007 under ISBN 9781424173266 and ISBN 1424173264.
