Autorenporträt
R.R. "Boom" Powell was a career U.S.Navy officer who flew from carrier decks for sixteen years before starting to write about aviation. His thirty-seven years as a pilot and especially his combat experience, give this biography of a fighter ace an immediacy and familiarity not found in ordinary histories. Powell has written for several magazines and has a novel with the same setting as the Drew saga in work as well as a Great War flying tale. He flies Boeing 747 freighters for an international airline when he is not writing or soaring in his Libelle.
