About the Author
As a retired Helicopter Pilot, I now reside in Madera, California, with my wife Lydia. I would describe myself as being an average Joe, which by the very nature of Aviation, experienced a life time of adventures. Forty Seven years of those adventures are chronicled in my new book: Wings of the Tern, now available thru Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These links are listed on the right.

About the Book
The forty seven years of adventures start out with me as a young boy learning to fly airplanes and pumping gas at the local airport; US Army Flight School and time spent flying helicopters in Vietnam; almost two decades of flying in Alaska; and finally as a EMS pilot in California’s Central Valley.
Within this book, I set my stories in there relationship to the historical events of the period, and the interesting and, in some cases, renown people that I came in contact with. I describe in great detail, much of the history of Aviation, the Aircraft that I flew and of the lands that I flew over. In particular, I spend much time covering the rich history of Alaska and descriptions of those places within the state that are rarely visited.
