Vintage Aviation News

A Hawker Sea Fury screams by during the 2012 Reno Air Races.

I've been so busy lately getting ready for Oshkosh, that I flat forgot to mention that I was recently interviewed by Moreno Aguiari of Vintage Aviation News. Mo, as he is known to his friends, is a long-time fan of vintage aviation history, and interviewed me about my book on WWII flight jackets. While fairly brief, it does provide some insight into the finished product, and serves as a good introduction to the work. Enjoy!
