About the Author
The author developed an interest in aircraft in his early teens. He worked at a small civilian airport for flying lessons and at sixteen, before he learned to drive, soloed in a light trainer. In the early years of the Korean War, he enlisted in the Air Force serving in Europe and the Far East. He describes the experience as a Korean combat veteran and the place where he grew up. Honorably discharged in 1953 he began a career in law enforcement. Most of his twenty-six years in law enforcement was spent as a Detective Sergeant and he retired as a Deputy Chief. He became a private detective licensed in four states and dabbled in investigations to the age of seventy-one. He has written a book about his detective experiences (Probe, Poke, Pry, and Peek: Detecting the Detectable). He has owned several aircraft from a 175 HP cabin Fairchild up to a 3400 HP twin engine B-25, (Barbie III and Company). His latest book (Giants Over Korea) tells an intriguing tale of the B-29 and its role in the air war over North Korea. He and his wife have four children and four grandchildren.
