Gary Foster

Gary W. Foster, a fulltime writer, has been writing since 2000. His first book is titled "Phantom in the River: The Flight of Linfield Two Zero One," about a Navy F-4 Phantom fighter jet he stumbled onto in Hanoi, Vietnam. His second book, a novel based on historical fact, is titled "The President's Sandbox," about President Johnson and the siege of Khe Sanh and the 26th Marines in Vietnam in 1968. He wrote a short story about a humorously ironic childhood experience called "Launching Motor," during the early days of the space race. His latest published work is titled "The Hanoi March: American POWs in North Vietnam's Crucible," about an event in Hanoi in 1966. He has published several papers on various technical topics and has written many unpublished accounts of his years living in India and his time in Iraq. Spending much of each summer in Europe, Gary is widely traveled and prefers to write about unknown or interesting topics including a mixture of geographical, mechanical (machine-human interface) subjects set in a unique historical perspective. Gary lives in Phoenix. He has explored Arizona and the Southwest extensively. His next projects include an autobiography of his seven years living in Africa and a novel about Formula One racing set in Europe during the mid-1960s.
