Warriors Without Weapons portrays the scope and depth of the training, action and consequences of aviation Tech Reps. Thousands of civilian men who never fired a shot accompanied military aircraft throughout the 20th century's major conflicts. In their own words, these stories illustrate the risk and responsibility of their daily lives on domestic military bases and in ports around the world.
"An invaluable contribution to aviation history. Casey knows the subject and writes it well. A salute to the Tech Reps who kept airplanes flying."
—Colonel Walter J. Boyne, former Director of the National Air & Space Museum
"Warriors Without Weapons is a definite two thumbs up and a must read! John Casey was the prime mover in an organization of shakers and movers. His expertise in handling this great army of technicians and engineers made North American Aviation's famous B-25 Mitchell Bomber, P-51 Mustang, F-86 Sabre Jet and F-100 Super Sabre become legends in the annals of war. We may never know just how much these Tech Reps contributed to our success in World War II and in the Korean War."
—Warren E. Thompson, Military Aviation Historian
"Finally, a book that expounds on the admirable deeds and great contribution of the Tech Reps."
—Major General Frederick C. "Boots" Blesse
