James Blackwell Publishes Military History Book Gunners The Men Who Manned the B-29 Machine Guns in the Korean War
Renowned military analyst releases richly detailed, meticulously researched account of forgotten heroes from a largely forgotten conflict—and shares insights into what it means for today’s military
United States, 23rd Jul 2025 —Dr. James Blackwell, the renowned military analyst, lecturer, and author, today announced the release of his latest book, “Gunners! The Men Who Manned the B-29 Machine Guns in the Korean War.” Blackwell is a Korean War Historian for the 307th Bombardment Group Association. In the book, Blackwell shares the stories of a largely forgotten group of airmen in a conflict that is also quickly receding from American memory. The richly detailed, meticulously researched account is primarily based on the service members’ own words. It has been vetted through reliable archival sources, as well.
“The airmen who manned the machine guns on the B-29 bombers in Korea have many powerful stories to share,” explained Blackwell, who served as CNN’s first full-time on-air military expert during the 1991 Gulf War and as the Fox News Network’s founding military analyst. “They’re part of a lost generation of soldiers who honorably served their country in a war that most Americans now know little about. But, there’s a lot we can learn from their experiences in the conflict.”
The Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, began when Communist North Korea invaded South Korea. It became a bloody proxy war between the United States and its allies fighting against North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. Over 36,000 Americans died in the war, which had a total military and civilian death toll estimated at upwards of 2-1/4 million.
The US Air Force deployed B-29 bombers, built for service in World War II, to Korea. The planes, known as “super fortresses,” were the largest and most sophisticated aircraft in the world. By Korea, fighting against Russian MiG-15 jets, the US Air Force had to inject new technology, and adapt its tactics, techniques and doctrine as the Air force accelerated the development and production of newer jet bombers. Some B-29s were shot down, causing airmen who survived bailing out to become prisoners of war (POWs).
“The history of B-29 gunners in Korea is not just about the past,” explained Blackwell. “Of course, we should honor the valor and sacrifice of these men, but there’s a lot we can learn about the present and future of warfare from this history. Listening to accounts of air combat in a B-29 over Korea can teach us about the consequences of ever-changing weaponry and its impact on warfighting strategies. Yesterday’s unbeatable weapon is tomorrow’s museum piece—a reality we’re seeing in Ukraine and elsewhere as $1,000 cardboard drones shoot down $100 million fighter jets, to name just one example.”
According to the author, “After the war, these veterans entered lifelong middle-class skilled labor or management careers and today live on a variety of government and commercial retirement fixed income sources. In addition to age-related medical issues, they present a variety of combat-related conditions, including PTSD, and many suffer from unique cold weather-related disabilities such as skin cancer and frostbite scars. With this book, their families and friends will be able to fill in the blanks of what happened to their loved ones.”
Blackwell wrote the book in part because time was running out to hear the airmen’s stories firsthand. He said, “There are fewer than 500,000 Korean War Veterans alive today. By 2030, the Veterans Administration projects their number will decline to just over 138,000. In June 1952, at the peak of the Air War in Korea, the USAF had 11,233 Airmen fighting the Korean War in Asia. The youngest of them is today 90 years old.”
He added, “Today, these veterans are mostly males in their 90s, whose honorable legacy of family and work experience is far removed from today’s more entitled generations. Many Korean War veterans are left alone, or live in Veterans Homes, skilled nursing facilities, or, tragically, out on the streets. The COVID-19 pandemic took a disproportionate toll on these aging war heroes.”
About the Author
Since his retirement from the U.S. Army in 1987, Dr. Blackwell has conducted research and analysis on military concepts, strategy and technology, serving as Director of Political Military Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and at several corporate organizations under contract to the Department of Defense and other government agencies, including a number of seminal studies for the Office of Net Assessment. He was Cable News Network’s full-time military analyst during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and was Fox News Channel’s founding Military Analyst.
Dr. Blackwell was an Assistant Professor of Political Science at West Point from 1982 to 1985. He was Executive Director for two major Department of Defense investigations (Detention Operations in 2004 and Nuclear Weapons Management in 2008) and from 2009 to 2016 served in the United States Air Force as Special Advisor to the Assistant Chief of Staff for Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration. Dr. Blackwell was Research Staff Member at the Institute for Defense Analyses and currently teaches Military Strategy and the History of Nations for the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University.

Press Release
DLMSPV LLC and Michael Hartnett Helping Global Investors Identify Quality Assets through DSLAI and DLMSPVAI Frameworks
In the complex world of global finance, the ability to distinguish between noise and genuine opportunity has become the defining factor separating consistent success from uncertainty. As global markets evolve under the influence of AI, digitization, and capital redistribution, investors face an overwhelming array of data and decisions. DLM SPV LLC, under the strategic guidance of renowned analyst and educator Michael Hartnett, is pioneering a data-driven approach that simplifies this challenge — integrating artificial intelligence and behavioral modeling through its proprietary systems, DSLAI, DLMSPV, and DLMSPVAI.
The Modern Investor’s Dilemma
The financial markets of 2025 are unlike any in previous decades. Volatility has become a constant companion, inflationary cycles are unpredictable, and traditional valuation models often fail to capture the momentum behind emerging sectors. Investors are forced to adapt, searching for assets that combine stability, transparency, and long-term growth potential.
In this landscape, the question is no longer what to buy, but how to identify quality. The criteria for defining “high-quality assets” have evolved — it now encompasses not just performance, but also resilience, governance, and data-backed fundamentals.
Michael Hartnett, who has spent years studying global capital flows and behavioral finance, believes that technology can finally bridge the gap between complexity and clarity. “Investors are not struggling from a lack of data,” Hartnett explains. “They are struggling because there’s too much of it. The key is to filter information through intelligent systems that can recognize real value where others see only volatility.”
Introducing DSLAI and DLMSPVAI — Redefining Analytical Precision
At the core of DLM SPV LLC’s approach are DSLAI (Dynamic Smart Learning AI) and DLMSPVAI, two interconnected analytical engines that combine data modeling, sentiment analysis, and structural pattern verification.
DSLAI operates as a machine learning backbone that continuously studies correlations between macroeconomic indicators, corporate disclosures, and behavioral market signals. It is designed to understand not only what moves markets but why. By decoding hidden relationships between liquidity trends, risk tolerance, and capital rotation, DSLAI can flag potential opportunities long before they reach mainstream attention.
Complementing this is DLMSPVAI, an evolved model that applies predictive analytics to simulate multiple market scenarios. Rather than focusing on short-term price changes, DLMSPVAI measures sustainability — identifying assets capable of withstanding cyclical downturns and technological disruptions.
Together, the two systems represent DLM SPV’s philosophy: empowering investors through knowledge, not speculation.
The DLM SPV Framework: Where AI Meets Human Insight
Technology alone cannot define a good investment. While DSLAI and DLMSPVAI automate large-scale data processing, human interpretation remains critical. Michael Hartnett emphasizes that “data is only as good as the discipline guiding it.”
Under the DLMSPV (Dynamic Learning Market Smart Portfolio Validation) model, DLM SPV LLC combines algorithmic forecasting with human review. Analysts trained under the DLM framework evaluate data through multiple dimensions: sector relevance, liquidity depth, management quality, and regulatory transparency.
This hybrid approach ensures that the AI’s findings are grounded in real-world reasoning. It is not merely a matter of numbers but of narrative — understanding how global events, leadership decisions, and consumer sentiment collectively shape an asset’s trajectory.
Redefining What “Quality” Means in a Fragmented Market
According to Hartnett, the term “quality” has been misinterpreted for too long. “Investors often equate quality with brand recognition or market capitalization,” he notes. “But true quality is defined by adaptability — the ability of an asset or a company to generate consistent value across different economic cycles.”
Through DSLAI and DLMSPVAI, DLM SPV identifies these traits by analyzing the behavioral consistency of assets over time. For example:
How do institutional holdings shift during uncertainty?
How resilient are earnings against interest rate changes?
Does the underlying business model scale with technological transformation?
These questions go beyond price movements, capturing a deeper picture of structural strength.
The Role of AI in Democratizing Market Access

For decades, institutional investors held an advantage in accessing complex analytical tools and datasets. Retail and mid-level investors often relied on fragmented sources of information. DLM SPV LLC aims to close this gap by leveraging AI frameworks like DSLAI to create transparent analytical access for all investors — whether they are managing a personal portfolio or institutional capital.
Through its platform at https://dlmqy.com, DLM SPV integrates interactive dashboards and algorithmic insights that translate raw financial data into actionable intelligence. Users can visualize correlations, assess market health, and identify early signals of structural change.
This is not about predicting markets with absolute certainty — an impossible task — but about increasing the probability of success through better-informed decisions.
Michael Hartnett’s Philosophy: From Teaching to Empowering
Michael Hartnett’s contribution to DLM SPV extends beyond technical systems. A long-time educator and analyst, he believes that investment literacy is as important as access to capital.
“The most valuable asset is understanding,” he says. “Technology amplifies knowledge, but it cannot replace judgment. That’s why DLM SPV’s mission is not only to deliver tools but to cultivate decision-makers.”
To this end, the company has integrated education modules within its ecosystem — allowing users to learn how DSLAI and DLMSPVAI interpret data, rather than simply accepting recommendations. The goal is transparency: empowering investors to trust their reasoning as much as the algorithm.
The Rise of Data-Conscious Investing
The success of DLM SPV’s approach reflects a broader shift across the investment world. Traditional asset managers are embracing AI not as a novelty but as a necessity. As markets become more interconnected, the ability to process information at scale is essential.
DLM SPV’s innovation lies in how it applies AI to human behavior, not just numbers. By modeling collective decision patterns, DSLAI identifies when market sentiment diverges from fundamentals — often a precursor to correction or opportunity.
This perspective is especially valuable in the age of behavioral volatility, where sentiment, social trends, and algorithmic trading intersect.
Balancing Automation and Accountability
One of the recurring challenges in financial AI systems is accountability — ensuring that automated insights remain ethical, unbiased, and verifiable.
DLM SPV LLC has developed DLMSPVAI’s validation layer, which requires human confirmation for all AI-generated signals before portfolio action. This safeguards against overreliance on algorithmic bias and reinforces a culture of professional accountability.
Hartnett explains, “Technology should not replace trust — it should earn it. The best systems are those that make investors more aware, not more dependent.”
From Analysis to Action: Turning Knowledge into Portfolio Strength
Identifying a quality asset is only the beginning. What distinguishes DLM SPV’s framework is how it translates intelligence into structured portfolio validation.
Through the DLMSPV model, assets are evaluated not only for performance but for interconnectivity — how each position strengthens or diversifies the overall portfolio. The AI’s ability to detect unseen correlations allows investors to reduce exposure to systemic risk while optimizing growth potential.
This methodology has gained attention among institutional advisors seeking to merge AI analytics with responsible portfolio construction.
Looking Ahead: Building a Smarter Financial Future
As global markets transition into an era dominated by digital assets, tokenization, and real-world asset integration, DLM SPV LLC is positioning itself as a thought leader in intelligent asset discovery.
The company’s vision extends beyond short-term market relevance. Its goal is to redefine how investors interact with information — transforming data into comprehension, and comprehension into confidence.
Michael Hartnett summarizes this mission succinctly:
“The future of investing is not about prediction; it’s about perception. Those who understand the structure of change will always find opportunity within it.”
Conclusion
In a world where data is abundant but clarity is rare, DLM SPV LLC and Michael Hartnett are offering a bridge — connecting technology, transparency, and education. Through systems like DSLAI, DLMSPV, and DLMSPVAI, the company is building more than analytical tools; it is cultivating a philosophy of informed, intelligent investing.
Investors seeking to learn more about DLM SPV’s framework or explore its analytical systems can visit https://dlmqy.com or contact services@dlmqys.vip for further information.
As financial markets continue to evolve, one truth remains: the most powerful investment is not in assets themselves, but in the knowledge that helps define them.

Vitals Vault Brings $4,500 Longevity Clinic Testing to the Public for Just $399
100+ biomarkers, AI-powered insights, and early detection are now accessible to everyone.
Seattle, WA, USA– Vitals Vault, a next-generation health optimization platform, is transforming how individuals take control of their health. By offering access to over 100 precision biomarker tests, AI-driven insights, and clinician-reviewed reports, Vitals Vault is bridging the gap between expensive longevity clinics and the limited scope of traditional annual physicals.
Accessible Pricing with Launch Special
Individually, these tests cost over $1,700 if purchased separately. The full Vitals Vault comprehensive panel regularly retails for $599, already a fraction of the price of longevity clinics that charge $4,000 -$5,000. For its limited launch, Vitals Vault is making this same full-body health scan available for just $399 – bringing advanced longevity testing within reach for everyone.
The Number That Matters More Than Your Birthday
Beyond testing for disease risk, Vitals Vault measures how fast your body is actually aging. Using PhenoAge, an advanced algorithm built from key blood markers, the platform calculates your biological age – a true reflection of cellular health, resilience, and longevity potential. Unlike your birthdate, this measure shows whether you’re aging faster or slower than expected. Armed with this insight, individuals can take targeted, science-based steps proven to slow – and in some cases reverse – the pace of aging.
A New Era in Preventive Health
For decades, the standard medical model has focused on detecting sickness rather than preventing it. Annual physicals typically measure only 12–20 markers, leaving fatigue, hidden inflammation, and silent heart risk unnoticed until it’s too late.
Meanwhile, longevity clinics charge as much as $4,500 for advanced testing, placing optimal health out of reach for most people.
Vitals Vault challenges this system by making comprehensive testing and actionable health optimization accessible and affordable. With CLIA-certified labs, HIPAA-compliant data protection, and HSA/FSA eligibility, the platform delivers the same scientific rigor as elite clinics at a fraction of the cost.
What’s Included: 112+ Biomarkers That Go Far Beyond a Physical
Instead of the 12–20 basic labs typically offered at a doctor’s office, Vitals Vault provides a complete map of health with over 100+ tests across every major system.
Some of the most critical include:
- ApoB – The most powerful predictor of heart attack and stroke risk, yet rarely included in standard physicals.
- Lipoprotein(a) – A hidden genetic risk factor most doctors never check, strongly linked to early heart attacks and strokes—even when cholesterol appears normal.
- hs-CRP – A key inflammation marker not only driving silent cardiovascular disease, but also linked to accelerated biological aging and predicting future risk of heart attack years before symptoms appear.
- Homocysteine – Elevated levels are linked not only to cognitive decline, stroke, and Alzheimer’s, but also to accelerated brain shrinkage—studies show lowering homocysteine with B-vitamins can slow brain atrophy by over 30% and preserve memory.
- Advanced cholesterol & triglycerides – Go beyond ‘total cholesterol’ to reveal hidden particle patterns and lipid risks that standard panels miss.
- Fasting insulin + HOMA-IR – Detect hidden insulin resistance years before glucose or A1C changes, offering an early warning for diabetes and metabolic disease.
- Hemoglobin A1C – The gold standard for tracking long-term blood sugar control and uncovering hidden diabetes risk.
- Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, antibodies) – The most comprehensive thyroid check – revealing hidden imbalances that drive fatigue, stubborn weight gain, mood shifts, and hair loss that a standard TSH test alone often misses.
- Ferritin & Iron – Reveal hidden anemia or iron overload—two underdiagnosed causes of constant exhaustion, brain fog, and poor performance.
- Vitamin D, B12, Folate – Essential nutrient trio uncovering deficiencies that quietly drive fatigue, low mood, and weakened immunity.
- Testosterone (free & total) – The master vitality hormone influencing energy, strength, mood, drive, and libido in both men and women – often overlooked outside men’s health.
- Estradiol, Progesterone, FSH, LH – Core reproductive hormones regulating fertility, hormonal balance, mood, and life-stage transitions in both sexes, not just women.
- Cortisol & DHEA-S – stress and resilience markers influencing sleep, recovery, and aging.
- Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) – detect alcohol, medication, or diet-related strain.
- Kidney markers (Creatinine, eGFR, Albumin/Creatinine Ratio) – uncover early kidney warning signs most doctors miss.
This depth of testing is designed to uncover imbalances years before they manifest as disease, empowering users to intervene early and live longer, healthier lives.
Personalized AI-Driven Health Reports
Every Vitals Vault client receives more than just raw lab data. Results are reviewed by advanced AI systems that compare biomarkers against optimal, not just “normal”, ranges. The platform delivers a personalized Functional Health Report that includes:
- Food and supplement guidance tailored to biomarker results
- Lifestyle recommendations for sleep, stress, and exercise
- Urgent result flagging for immediate attention
- A biological age (PhenoAge) calculation to measure true aging beyond the calendar
Health History Integration
Vitals Vault also empowers clients to upload past lab reports from other providers, creating a continuous health timeline. Instead of treating every test as an isolated snapshot, the platform stitches data together – revealing long-term trends, hidden patterns, and whether interventions are truly working. This longitudinal view, once only available at elite concierge clinics, is now accessible to everyone. Clients can securely track their progress, spot subtle changes early, and share evolving insights with their physicians.
Trusted, Affordable, and Transparent
Vitals Vault operates with a one-time $399 purchase; no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no automatic renewals. Customers schedule their tests at one of 2,000+ Quest Diagnostics locations nationwide, receive results within 7 days, and gain access to insights typically reserved for the wealthy.
The company also offers a 60-day money-back guarantee, underscoring its confidence in providing measurable value.
Why Vitals Vault Matters Now
With 74% of adults reporting exhaustion and nearly all lacking clarity on the cause, Vitals Vault positions itself as the clear alternative to “bare minimum” healthcare. Instead of waiting years for conditions like pre-diabetes or hormone imbalances to surface, individuals can now identify risks early, act on them, and reclaim control of their health journey.
