Author Bio:
The author flew in a USAF T-33 when he was a CAP cadet at the age of 16. His pilot was selected to fly with the Thunderbirds the next year.
Three weeks after he graduated from college, as a commissioned second lieutenant, he entered undergraduate pilot training. The author knows what it’s like to pull 8Gs (recovery from a screwed-up barrel roll-solo).
One year later, two weeks before graduation, he and a group of other student pilots from all the training bases, were transferred to different career fields because the Air Force didn’t need pilots as the Vietnam War had ended. He was among those assigned to the ICBM missile launch officer career field where he spent two decades.
During that time, he managed to wrangle flying with a member of the Canadian Snowbirds (the Canadian equivalent of the Air Force Thunderbirds). He took the controls and left no doubt, in his pilot’s mind, that he could fly.
He met and spoke, at length, with Brigadier General Steve Ritchie (the Vietnam War ace). Steve was his inspiration for the F-15E squadron commander in the story.
Ross wrote Eagle Fangs as a salute to all those who put on the uniform and serve with honor and all those unsung heroes who make that happen. Writing is his hobby.
