Happy to remind everyone of the Oct. 17 release of my "Space Shuttle Stories" from Smithsonian. I've received an early hard copy and it looks spectacular! It's based on 130+ shuttle flier interviews, with an astronaut tale from each one of the 135 missions. Can pre-order online.

Was at the #MapsAir Museum in Akron/Canton, OH, last week for the Martin #B-26 Marauder Historical Society reunion. MAPS has a beautifully restored Marauder, Charly's Jewel, built in 1941 and recovered from NW Canada in 1970s. Great to speak to two WWII Marauder vets.
