Now that we have that out of the way we can write about something that has nothing to do with book.
Yesterday, 6/7/2014 at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California, the museum paid tribute to the P-47 Thunderbolt and to the pilots that flew them in WW II. One of the pilots, Captain Tom Glenn, USAF (ret) is a personal friend and he gave a short account of his exploits in Europe during WW II. Five other pilots, none under 90 years of age also spoke of their experiences, 5 of them in Europe and one in the Pacific Theater. There also was one of the few remaining Thunderbolts on display and the plane later did a fly-over. I have a great deal of respect for those who flew in WW II and God bless them all. I was a young boy in my native Holland during WW II and give PowerPoint presentation to groups, aviation enthusiasts, senior citizens, at libraries etc. If you would like to receive this Powerpoin presentation, email me and I will send it to you via WeTransfer sans narration, of course.
I made a short video of yesterday's speeches and include it in this post.
If you like to have some inspired reading on your summer holiday, on your tablet at the beach or at a quiet summer cabin by the lake, I recommend my book, (of course) it will give you some thought provoking reading.
Good wishes to all writer, wannabe writers and blog friends the world over. Johan
