Desert Storm, SCUD missiles, satellites and outback Australia ... how are they connected?

What role did the remote satellite tracking station near Woomera South Australia play during the First Gulf War? What was it like when Aussies and Yanks lived and worked together at the Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar (JDFN)?These questions are answered in Dave Ives' book, "Yanks in the Outback." Dave's story is based on his experience as a young US Air Force lieutenant stationed at the JDFN from February 1990 until May 1991.The role of the JDFN during the First Gulf War is well documented in the public literature. The fact that operators from the JDFN were detecting and reporting SCUD missile launches in the Middle East war zone is no secret. But, Dave's story gives us a unique perspective - an inside, emotional and personal look at life at the JDFN before, during and just after the war. And, he presents a powerful case challenging the official story about the role the JDFN played in the SCUD missile launch that hit the barracks housing American soldiers in Saudi Arabia on 26 February 1991.Click the BUY NOW button up top to read Dave's fascinating and compelling story.
