About My Library
I enjoy U.S. history, with a major portion of my books being on WWII leaning toward the Pacific theater but also reading about all aspects. Also an aviation fan and naval history as well as the railroad history.
About Me
Worked at Lockheed-Martin for 35 years in production, retiring in 2011. Big aviation background with my dad working for Douglas Aircraft starting in 1940 at the Santa Monica Plant.
