Swarming Warhawks

I've recently finished editing my second book for Squadron/Signal Publications. This one traces the developmental history of one of the more frequent fighters of WWII, the Curtiss P-40. It became most famous for its use by the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers, but it was much more prolific than that.
The book was written by Richard Dann, and you can see profiles of the plane in various incarnations at his Web site.
Here's a video of the early-war workhorse from History Channel's "Dogfights":

Happy Birthday, Zoe!



Well, my little girl turned 2 last weekend. That's her on the left with a fistful of lollipops. Her BFF, Becca, seems to enjoy the pops, too. The seemingly incessant rain we've had in North Texas stopped, and we had a party with many friends and much fun.
It's hard to believe it's been two years since my life turned upside down and the most important thing in it emerged.
What a beautiful day.
