Links to my fellow author's pages:

Former US enlisted naval aviator P.I. Gunn became a World War IIlegend as a US Army pilot and mechanical genius with Fifth Air Force after pioneering the Army troop carrier mission in the Southwest Pacific. His son and my friend, Nat Gunn, has written the true story of this amazing man. Nat has also authored several fictionalized accounts of experiences from his own amazing life under the pen name Nathan Cannon. Order a copy of Pappy Gunn. (Note - the story of Pappy Gunn is the most amazing account of World War II. While his family, including his son Nat, were interned in Manila by the Japanese, Pappy was fighting his private war to free them. If there is a story that should be made into a movie, this is it.)

Dick Herman and I were in the same squadron on Okinawa and were crewed together on the C-130 flare mission. He has written a number of novels, all Air Force related - Dick Herman Books.

Tom Stalvey has written a memoir of his Air Force experiences called "The Lucky Loadmaster". As soon as it is available, I'll link it here.
