Barrett Tillman is a professional author and speaker based in Arizona with more than 40 nonfiction books as well as novels to his credit. He holds seven awards for history and literature including the 1996 Tailhook Association Lifetime Achievement Award and third place in the US Naval Institute Prize in 2009. Tillman has appeared in more than a dozen documentaries including The History Channel's Dogfights . The son of a World War II aviator, he learned to fly at a young age and has logged hundreds of hours in historic aircraft. Therefore his narratives feature details not only of how fliers from many nations performed their missions, but the sound, sensation and feel of mid-20th century aircraft. His combination of research, writing and cockpit immediacy are rare today and unequalled. See less
