Before stealth bombers flew from Missouri to Tehran and back, battle-worn B-52s pushed crews and machines to the brink in a history-making, out-and-back combat strike. It set the gold standard for global reach—and forever changed the face of modern warfare.

DOOM 34 is the first behind-the-scenes insider’s recounting of a high-stakes mission that changed the course of modern combat. It combines the fast-paced, breathless development of a highly classified, innovative weapon with the selection and training of untested aviators who executed this top-secret Black Ops mission in the run-up to Operation Desert Storm. This mission pushed the limits of human endurance and mechanical design.

Code-named “Senior Surprise” and nicknamed “Secret Squirrel,” the mission selected fifty-seven airmen (only one of whom had any combat experience) to fly seven B-52s that were well past their prime on a thirty-five-hour, nonstop flight that was plagued with unforeseen complications from the moment of takeoff.

Trey Morriss was the electronic warfare officer on the fourth B-52—DOOM 34—and, along with his seven crewmen, had a front-row seat to what went down.

Industry Reviews

âPart thriller, part tributeâ" DOOM 34 is a firsthand ride through the classified chaos, human resolve, and split-second decisions behind Americaâs first strike in Desert Storm.â
â" Honorable Rick Perry, former Governor of Texas and former Secretary of Energy and current Advocate for Veterans Mental Health

âDOOM 34 is an unforgettable firsthand account that perfectly captures both the precision and deeply human experience behind one of the most daring and secretive missions in U.S. Air Force history. Trey Morriss masterfully brings to life the harrowing 35-hour flight that launched Operation Desert Storm, offering readers an inside look at the courage, resilience, and camaraderie of the âSecret Squirrelâ crews. With vivid storytelling, Trey honors the unsung heroes of DOOM 34 while reminding us of their enduring spirit of service and sacrifice. This is more than a military memoirâ"itâs a tribute to ordinary Americans & extraordinary Airmen who answered historyâs call and delivered their finest hour."
â" General Seve Wilson, USAF (Retired), Former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force

âIn my many years of serving with Airmen, Iâve seen adversity and triumph. Trey nails it with DOOM 34â"a piercing, unapologetic account of grit, mission focus, and leadership forged under fire."
â" General Robin Rand, USAF (Retired), Former Commander, Air Force Global Strike Command

âHaving flown 25 missions over Europe in WWIIâ"I know what guts and fortitude look like. Morriss puts you squarely in the DOOM 34 cockpitâ"a mission that changed warfare. His narrative of raw courage and sharp innovation is the real dealâ"nothing surpasses a first-person account."
â" Major John âLuckyâ Luckadoo, USAF (Retired), B-17 pilot, 100th Bomb Group

âDOOM 34 meticulously recounts the top-secret plan that commenced Operation Desert Storm. Morriss recounts the fraught weeks and months before the assignment with vivid recollection, with his storys most harrowing moments mostly confined to the 30-plus hours he and his crew flew to the Middle East and back. A riveting read from start to finish.â
â" Philip Zozzaro, Booklist
