About the Author

Wing Commander Geoffrey Morley-Mower, DFC, AFC, was born in London, England in 1918. During his 31-year service with the Royal Air Force he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Force Cross, and served in India, the Middle East, Gibraltar and Cyprus. He flew Hawker Hurricanes, American Mustangs, subsonic jet aircraft like Meteors and Vampires, and--during the Cold War--commanded anti-submarine units equipped with Avro Shackletons and American Neptunes.

As a staff officer assigned to duties in the Pentagon he fell in love with the United States, pulled his children from their English boarding schools, and retired from the RAF. Since 1968 he has been a professor in the English Department of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, where he and his wife now reside. All of his family are now U.S. citizens.

Morley-Mower is also the author of Cabell Under Fire (1975) and Messerschmitt Roulette (1993).
