Story 1

Escape from Afghanistan
Although I was recalled to duty in 1980 to take part in the infamous Operation Eagle Claw, the disastrous plan to free the American hostages held in Iran, I soon found that my mission involved possibly evacuating the hostages to the East … out through Afghanistan.

You may remember the Soviets had invaded Afghanistan and the US was training and supplying the local, mountain tribal militia. This is the story of my battalion of Taliban tribesmen's effort to chase the Russians out and free the hostages.

Story 2

Kyrkyz-Knot Assignment
Because of my Special Intelligence clearances I was recalled to duty during the Gulf War.

Although I was stationed at an airfield in the Persian Gulf, I soon found myself flying a partially restored, WWI German SPAD fighter from the mountainside strip on Probeda Peak … a 25,000 foot crag of the Kyrgyz High Pamir … northern rampart of the Hindu Kush Mountains of the Central Asian Knot.

This is an exciting fighting adventure supporting a Pathan Tribal militia fighting the final Soviet Communist insurgency in the breakup of the Soviet Union.
