 Dear Friends and Aviators,
As you probably know, I've had five books published so far (see below), with one more on the way.  That last one will be the definitive story of the B-66 and the men who built, flew and maintained it.  However, I don't expect it to be out until next summer or so. 
With the holidays coming up, you might want to consider giving one of my books as a gift to someone special.  For $25 (a break-even price for me which includes postage) I'll mail an inscribed copy anywhere in the US.  Just give me an address and any special dedication you want me to include.  Note: Although German Boy also came out as a paperback, I have only the hardback available.  (The paperback is available through amazon or your local bookstore.)
 
1- German Boy - A boy's story of survival during and after WWII in Germany; my personal story; introduced by Stephen Ambrose and reviewed by the New York Times.

2-
Coming to Colorado - the sequel to German Boy; reviewed by the Denver Post.

3- The War of Our Childhood - German children telling their stories of survival and what they did with their lives in the postwar years; reviewed by the Washington Post.

4- I Always Wanted to Fly - the story of America's Cold War Airmen (Berlin Airlift/Korea/Strategic Reconnaissance RB-45C/RB-47E/H; Vietnam F-105/B-57/SA-2/ECM); reviewed by Booklist and Stephen Ambrose before he died.

5- American Raiders - the untold story of how the Luftwaffe was disarmed, and how two Army Air Forces colonels, Watson and Putt, transferred Germany's advanced technologies and scientists to the United States.  In other words - how the B-47 and the F-86 got their wings swept back, among many other things.  Reviewed by WWII History.
