About this title

From the Author:

A great joy in my life was meeting and working with the late John Wellham, a true hero of the Second World War. In his canvas-covered Fairey Swordfish biplane he help sink two Italian submarines and several battleships. His collaboration gave the the book a true "You are there" flavor, because he really was there! To attempt a British description, John was "a splendid chap," and I am honored to have known him.

About the Author:

I was never a pilot (a few hours as a student glider pilot hardly count) but my fascination with military aircraft goes way back. At age 12, I teamed with my grandmother as a plane spotter. She was qualified to telephone in reports, but knew nothing or airplanes. I was an avid "spotter." She called in my reports. Worked perfectly. Years later, I was drafted into the US Air Force and sent to Lackland AFB, a base that had NO airplanes.
