My Books

I’ve been fortunate to write two books and co-author another. In addition, my stories appear in several periodicals.

Airways Classics – TWA 1925-2001

I wrote the text for the latest Airways Magazine Classics issue, which features the history of TWA. A pictorial tribute to the airline, it contains more than 130 photos and illustrations. The magazine is available  by ordering online at: www.airwaysmag.com (Note: this is a magazine, not a book).

 

 

 

Convair 880 & 990

This soft-cover book was first in the Great Airliners Series published by World Transport Press, in 1996. It was reprinted once and offered as a hard-bound edition in limited numbers (less than 200). The book sold out several years ago, but can be found in the used market, albeit at rather unrealistic prices.

 

 

Boeing 720

Published in hard-cover format, Volume Seven of the Great Airliners Series was again published by World Transport Press, in 2001. The book is also out of print but is fairly widely available at used book stores and on various websites and, for the most part, is more reasonably priced.

 

 

From Props to Jets – Commercial Aviation’s Transition to the Jet Age 1952-1962

Co-authoring this work, with my good friends Craig Kodera and Mike Machat, was a treat. We basically divided up the chapters and had fun researching and chronicling this exciting time in the airline business. Published in May 2010 by Specialty Press, the book is available at major bookstores and on-line at specialtypress.com, amazon.com and other cyber-outlets.
