I went on a one week business trip this week so I picked up this book to read
while gone.

The book if full of errors that are so obvious to me that it must be really bad
for somebody who really knows something, for instance:

Says RB-47 pilot sits on the left of the cockpit when the plane actually has
tandem seating.

Says U-2 pilot pulled the throttle back to take off (won't go far like that).

Crypto City has 25 tons of air conditioning (heck, Mac's house has more than
that!)

Says Crypto City uses 54 million watts of electricity per day.  Wha?

Pueblo has 50 mm machine guns (instead of 50 cal).

There is more.

I can't even finish this book.

People who are in the know must really be pukin'.
