"Passing Gas: The History of Inflight Refueling" documents the development of inflight refueling from its inception some 75 years ago when a wing-walker, with a five gallon container of fuel strapped on his bank, descended from the wing of one aircraft to the wing of another. Today, giant KC-10 Extender aircraft have a capability to transfer hundreds of thousands of pounds of fuel to any aircraft equipped with a probe or receptacle. The first section of the book is the actual history of inflight refueling. The second section is a collection of true, first-hand stories of aircraft being "saved" through the actions of the tanker crews & the men who have flown the large varieties of air refueling tankers. The stories involve real people, pilots who flew in the Vietnam War, & who owe their lives to a few truly unsung heroes who were willing to risk their lives & careers so that their fellow airmen might live.
