He has flown into the world's war zones of Mogadishu, Somalia, and Bosnia, participated in German, and USAFE, air/land and night air/drop missions aboard C-160 and C-130 Hercules aircraft, and suffered for his art, landing aboard (in a C-2 Greyhound) and being catapulted from, the USS John F Kennedy in the Mediterranean. He is the author of sixty-two books about US Air Force/US Navy and Royal Navy/RAF operations as well as photographic books on military subjects and commercial airliners.
