The Ravens: The True Story Of A Secret War - Plot & Excerpts
An honor guard of Air Force military police in highly polished boots, gleaming helmets, and white gloves and puttees present arms as senior officers in dress uniforms emerge from a line of staff cars. They salute smartly and enter the club. Inside, the atmosphere is subdued, as groups of bemedaled men make polite, almost hushed small talk and club servants move deferentially among them with trays of drinks. Later there will be an elaborate dinner with speeches by generals, and loyal toasts to the president and the flag - this is the United States Air Force at its most formal and self-satisfied.On the same night as the dining-in, the club is also host to the annual Raven reunion - possibly the USAF at its most informal. Before the officers retire to the main dining room, and the Ravens plunge down into their subterranean bunker known fondly as the Augur (sic) Inn, there is a brief mingling of the two groups. The result is a scene which might have been taken from a Marx Brothers’ movie.The Ravens are not in dress uniforms but sport irreverent party suits made up by the Sikh tailor Amarjit in Udorn, Thailand.
