Gentlemen,
Please excuse the dual addees, I didn't quite know who should receive this.
I have written an Airman’s Trilogy comprising two novels and a book of short stories.
The first novel, Fokker Fodder, takes our protagonist Sam Hebert through flight training with Glenn Curtis at San Diego. Caught in France by WW-I, Sam joins the French air arm, completes their “fly or die” training program, then joins a squadron flying over the Front. He scores several victories before being asked to join Lafayette Escadrille. He is downed and spends time in a POW camp, and then escapes to Switzerland. His kills total seven of the nasty, nasty Hun.
.The second novel, Tempsford Taxi, drafts Sam into the OSS of WW-II, where he joins a Special Missions Squadron flying night missions into occupied France in support of the French Resistance. He lands his Westland Lysander by the light of the moon, carrying in spies and armaments, retrieving downed airmen. Along the way, he steals an ME-262, kidnaps a German General, and falls in love again.
The collection of short stories, Five of a Kind, finds Sam flying early airmail, pioneering aerial application (crop dusting), delivering serum to Alaska, ferrying Guatemalan revolutionaries to certain death, extracting CIA agents from Cuba after the failure of Bay of Pigs, pioneering undersea exploration. Even mining for gold in New Guinea. Versatile is our Sam.
All three are enjoyable reads and available through Amazon Books. Fokker Fodder available early October, Tempsford Taxi, early November, Five of a Kind early December, all from Amazon Books.
Happy landings,
Kent Hugus (21-47)
