It's October 1987. A military coup inside the Soviet Union removes Mikhail Gorbachev from power. What follows is a dangerous, escalating game of saber-rattling against the United States and her allies. Aggressive actions by the Soviets result in retaliation in kind by the United States. With blood shed and losses mounting, total nuclear war could erupt at any moment. While peace is their profession, Strategic Air Command stands ready to slug their way into the enemy's heartland and burn them into oblivion. This is the story of World War III through the eyes of the men who would have fought it.

This is the true memoir of one US Air Force navigator’s journey from the schoolhouses of Air Training Command to the nuclear alerts of the Cold War to combat in a 35-year-old anachronism called the B-52. It is a first-hand account of life during the last days of Strategic Air Command, the early days of Air Combat Command and the ensuing military drawdown of the 1990s. From peacetime training exercises across the globe to combat operations in Desert Storm, Jim Clonts takes the reader inside the cockpit where life and death are seconds apart. Often comical, sometimes heart-pounding, other times tragic, WHEN PENGUINS FLEW AND WATER BURNED takes you into the world of military aviation, a crucible where warriors learn the true nature of character, conscience and mortality.
