Author of Hangar Flying
The purpose of this web site is to allow me to share my
experiences as a career Air Force pilot with other aviators
and with the general public, and to provide insights into the
thoughts and motivations of those of us who serve our
country. I have believed that today's students and citizens
are not being taught or informed about those past
experiences that have made us the nation we are today.
Most people today have heard of World War II.
Most know that we were on the winning side. Not many can
name the major powers on our side, the Allies, or those we
fought against, the Axis Powers. Very few know anything
about the Korean Conflict (it was never declared a war). My
book, HANGAR FLYING is not a history book per se. It
does, however, bring the Korean Conflict and the Cold War
into the foreground by recounting my personal experiences
while participating in those actions.
HANGAR FLYING mostly describes in-flight emergencies,
close calls and other hair raising experiences encountered
during my flying career. Other books to follow will describe
more of the personal and social life of a military family as
well as some of the gratifying and sometimes humorous
things that happen.
I am considering a book about life in the 1930s and 40s
without television, cell phones, Ipods and soccer moms. And
yes, I did walk three miles (actually about a half mile) to
school through three feet (well, three inches) of snow, and it
really was uphill both ways.
Finally, just to show that military folks do have other
significant interests, I am considering a treatise on
Astronomy, Why the Big Bang Never Happened.
