Wholesale Acorn Squadron Chronicles: Flying in the Shadow of Death - Paperback

by Jeff Cassell (Author) In the tradition of the Navajo Code Talkers, the US Air Force initiated a Top-Secret mission called Project Oaktree. Eurasian red squirrels were genetically modified to create a super weapon: a spy incapable of detection, trained to fly, and who can gather intel in any location. In book 2 of the Acorn Squadron Chronicles, Flying in the Shadow of Death, Bushtail and the tiny pilots of the 999th Reconnaissance Drone Squadron take flight again. Stationed overseas in Afghanistan, the squirrel pilots and communication liaisons settle into military life on the front lines. Flying low-altitude operations in the Middle East brings new challenges, adventures, and tragedy.
