Exciting Book Cover News!
Here's the exciting news that I promised...an aviation artist named William S. Phillips, who does a lot of Doolittle Raid paintings, has agreed to let me use one of his paintings on my cover! It is an amazing piece of artwork titled Into the Arms of the Dragon that features my Uncle Denver's plane!
You can see a picture of the artwork at this link:
