Autor

John F. Homan has had, throughout his life, what he calls "a fair amount of luck." Born the son of British immigrants in Maine, he came of age during the Great Depression and enlisted in the Army Air Forces during World War II. A recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, he flew thirty-four combat missions over Europe. After the war, he married his childhood sweetheart and began a decades-long career in industrial manufacturing. In his one hundredth year, John still enjoys family, friends, partying, poker, and eighteen-year-old whiskey. Jared Frederick is the author and co-author of numerous books, including Dispatches of D-Day, Hang Tough, and Fierce Valor. He has appeared on PBS, C-SPAN, and Turner Classic Movies. A former park ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park, Frederick is the host of Reel History on YouTube and is an assistant teaching professor of history at Penn State Altoona.
