“MH370, WHERE ARE YOU?” - Working Title

This is a story about what may have really happened to Malaysian Flight 370, because it sure didn’t go down in the Southern Indian Ocean. I have been a pilot since 1961 and one thing is certain; No Debris Field, No Crash! I hope to tell you a story using the hard facts, recanted accounts, and lies by various governments, companies, and people to hide a possible attack that could be many time worse than the attack on 9-11. On the day it happened the Israeli government said that, “We will see that plane again.” and we probably will, unfortunately.

“FLYING THE LAND OF THE FROZEN CHOSEN” - Working Title

This is the story of World War II vintage pilots suddenly finding themselves flying low altitude combat support missions in Korea (1951-1953) with untested helicopters and with no plan on how to employ the newly acquired helicopters in combat. They developed an operating strategy for helicopters by trial and error as they flew missions under intense hostile fire. This is the saga of how airmobile support was developed in the mud, dust, torrid summer heat, the subzero winters and severe shortage of everything but a never ending supply of North Korean and Chinese soldiers. They proved the viability of helicopters in combat and became the forerunner of the Vietnam Airmobile Division and combat support battle plan.
