ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
FOR Wayne Handley, retired airshow hall of famer, who took my call and encouraged the project; Bill Adams, Jr., who talked with me about his dad; Perry Meier, whose vast knowledge of all things aeronautical, however liberally peppered with opinion, helped; Don Brewer, my go-to guy for military jet flying, even though his information is fifty years out of date; Kevin Fruehwirth, a pilot with an eagle eye; Craig Fuller, of Aviation Archaeological Investigation & Research, who works tirelessly to preserve ancient military aviation accident reports; Jonathan McCullough, the Skyhorse Publishing editor who saw things I didn’t; and lastly, my old buddy Matt Jolly, whose insistence that writing The Crowd Pleasers was a bad idea gave me added incentive to finish it.
