My father, like most men who served in WWII, rarely discussed their experiences in life andespecially during their time in combat. I wrote this book for my children, my descendantsand relatives to pass along my adventures and for them to see how God worked throughoutmy life to mold, protect and guide me to become the man I am today. As you read this bookyou will see how a young farm boy was blessed with the opportunity to fix and fly on the newUH-60 Blackhawk and be selected for pilot training when no one thought it was possible.You will be amazed to see how I went on to fly the AH-1 Cobra, F-16C, F-15E and was giventhe opportunity to lead 120 Air Force paratroopers for the largest combat jump since WWII.I will discuss my transition to become an airline pilot and how my career path was verynonstandard. When you finish the book, you will understand how God’s Grace protectedme from a helicopter crash, during a small aircraft crash, flying NVGs in the treetops anddiving at the ground during bombing runs as 700mph, parachuting with hundreds of troopsinto confined areas, the many other situations I found myself in. I am not a perfectionist butwhat I call an 80% solutions guy and Duct Tape is my 'Go To' tool to get things fixed 'GoodEnough' to get the mission accomplished. I hope my descendants and anyone else who readsthis book will see that 'If you do the Right things for the Right reasons which are moral andlegal' God will guide and protect you.
