Autorenporträt
On his seventh mission, Fiske Hanley and the nine other men of his crew were shot down over Japan. Lieutenant Hanley arrived on Japanese soil via parachute and thus began his harrowing experience as a prisoner of war--an accused American war criminal. On August 29, 1945, Lieutenant Hanley was liberated by a Navy-Marine task force led by Commander Harold E. Stassen, Deputy Chief of Staff to Admiral Halsey. Hanley returned to the United States. He remained an Air Force reservist and pursued a forty-three-year aeronautical engineering career with Convair/General Dynamics. Hanley checked out the first Air Force crews in the B-36 Peacemaker bomber and helped engineer the B-36, YC-131, B-58, F-111, and the F-16. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas.
