| I graduated from California State University-Northridge (then San
Fernando Valley State College) in August of 1969 with a BA degree in History. Following
graduation, I joined the US Air Force and flew as an F-4E Weapon Systems Officer
(WSO). While stationed at Korat RTAFB in Thailand, I flew 133 combat missions over North
and South Vietnam, and Laos. I was shot down over North Vietnam on July 5 1972, and spent
nine months as a POW in Hanoi North Vietnam. As a result of missions flown in Southeast
Asia, I received the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with twelve oak leaf
clusters, and the Purple Heart. After my return to the U.S., I was assigned to Nellis AFB,
Las Vegas, Nevada, flying as a rightseater in the F-111A. I left the Air Force at the end
of February 1977.
During 1977 I went to work for North American Aircraft Division of Rockwell International, in Los Angeles, as the Editor of the Flight Manuals for B-1A #3 and B-1A #4. Following the cancellation of the B-1A production, I continued in publications at Northrop Aircraft as a fire control and ECM systems maintenance manual writer on the F-5 fighter program. In October of 1978 I began my employment at Boeing Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas as a Flight Manual/Weapon Delivery manual writer on the B-52 OAS/CMI (Offensive Avionics System/Cruise Missile Integration) program. I was made the Lead Editor of the B-1B Flight and Weapon Delivery manuals to be written by Boeing (Aircrew Avionics Systems Flight Manuals, and all Aircrew Weapon Delivery Manuals). I developed the Flight Manual for the E-8A JOINT Stars aircraft, and the Flight/Weapon Delivery manuals for the Boeing NWDS (Navigation and Weapon Delivery System) installed in the RF-4C and F-4E. In February 2002 I retired from the position of B-52H Flight and Weapon Delivery Manuals Editor for The Boeing Company. I am continuing my photography of military aircraft for use in future books and articles. I am the author of ten books on US Air Force subjects:
