Travis Air Force Base: The Usaf's Transport SuperBASE in Action
Travis Air Force Base, situated in Fairfield, California, is the "Gateway to the Pacific," handling more cargo and passengers than any other American military air terminal, and is the transportation hub for the West Coast. Flying the KC-10 Extender, C-17 Globemaster III, and the C-5 Galaxy, Travis can handle any airlift mission for the United States Air Force, and its airmen have distinguished themselves in military operations at home and around the world, including the recent humanitarian evacuation from Kabul. The logistical capabilities at Travis help maintain America's military might by supplying people and parts to the right places at the right time. With over 150 images, most of which have never been published before, this book documents the aircraft, the technology, the airmen, and the behind-the-scenes operations at Travis.

This is an exhaustive look at the inner workings of the busiest military base in the US, covering all of its operations from military working dogs to the band. The highlight is the aircraft and the aerial refueling section at the end. This is a great book for any military enthusiast.
