What's new?


February 2008 -- I had the pleasure recently of interviewing World War II pilot Joy Dunlap, a remarkable man and aviator. In 1945, Dunlap flew a B-17 in Europe, and he was recently honored with a commemorative flight here in Alabama. Check out the Article and some pictures.

On the topic of WWII, I also wrote an Article recently for Cobblestone magazine, on the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, La. Originally founded by author Stephen Ambrose, the museum is a must-see destination for history buffs.

In 2004, Stealth Patrol was honored with a Distinguished Medal Award from the Military Writers Society of America. If you haven't read it before, here's the Book Review from President Bill McDonald.

And lastly, Stealth Patrol -- now recommended for "Further Reading" on Wikipedia!
