David Huffman

David Huffman is an avid student of aviation and military history. He is an airline pilot and has flown all over the globe. David is presently a Captain on the Boeing 757 airplane for an air-cargo company that contracts with one of the major worldwide package delivery companies and flies mainly out of Miami, Florida.

After graduating from Plymouth Salem High School in Plymouth, Michigan, he began his aviation career as a ramp marshaler in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He joined the United States Army in 1986 where he served as a mechanic on the AH-64A Apache helicopter. After his tour in the Army was over, he worked for an airship company based jointly in the U.K. and the U.S. managing ground crew and ground handling blimps. In 1991 he left the blimp company to complete his pilot training at an aviation academy in Sanford, Florida. David started flying commercially in 1994, right back where it all started in Ypsilanti, Michigan, for the same airline he was at in 1985.

David has studied the history of Man’s conflicts throughout the ages since he was a boy and has been especially focused in the areas of submarine warfare, aviation and space flight. His first book, Grey Wolf A Novel In History, was a quarterfinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. The book is a fictionalized account of actual events and is based on the patrol of a German U-boat at the outset of World War Two. It was first released in December of 2009.

David Huffman was born in Orlando, Florida where he resides today with his wife Patti. He has a daughter, Sierra and a stepson Jeffrey.
