When he was 3 & ½ years old, his family moved to Maywood, Illinois; where he was raised. He attended grade school in Maywood, high school on the west side of Chicago, and graduated from Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago. He later added master and doctoral degrees. Maywood was unique in that it lost an entire National Guard Tank Battalion at Bataan in the Philippines during WWII. There were 13 Gold Star Mothers with a total of 27 Gold Stars on his block.
His home was located about half way between Chicago Midway and Chicago O’Hare airports. Early on, he developed a love for aircraft and a desire to fly. After graduation from Roosevelt, he pursued that desire. Six and one-half years of his life are concerned with flying in or to Southeast Asia in the C-130A Hercules and the C-141A Starlifter aircraft. This book contains some of his most salient experiences during that time.
Later in his career, he flew cold war missions in the F-4C and F-4E Phantom tactical fighter.visualizza meno
