This is a bad month for authors

Today I learned that two more of our favorite authors have passed away ... David Halberstam and Bob Buck.

The Pulitzer Prize winning Halberstam is most famous for his writings on the War in Vietnam. But Greta's favorite is his gigantic The Fifties.

Buck we discovered only recently after I started my flight training. Buck is best known for his writings about flying and weather. But my favorite is North Star Over My Shoulder which recounts his lifetime of flying achievements and adventures. It really made the romance and adventure of flying come alive.
