Biographie de l'auteur

I am a sixty-eight year old veteran of the Vietnam War. I had the honor of serving with several men who became prisoners of war of North Vietnam during the years of the conflict. My grandfathers, my father and a number of my uncles served their country honorably overseas in World War I, World War II and The Korean Conflict. I have always been dedicated to the veterans of this country and dedicate this effort to all of them. I have had this story, stored in a corner of my mind for 20 years or more and never had the time or took the time to sit down, organize my thoughts, and put my story on paper. This effort blends fiction with fact and possibility with reality. It has taken a year and a half to get "Flight 27 Alpha" to this point and I have no idea how it will be accepted if I decide to have it published. I have never written a story before and do not expect to write another so this effort is my one and only attempt to be a published author. If you have purchased this book, I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it and will share your experience with others. In addition to all the veterans of all the wars, I dedicate this book to my children and grandchildren and I hope they understand just how much I love and appreciate them. Russell F.
