Autorenporträt
Dave Bly has been an inveterate airplane nut since he was seven years old when his dad brought home plastic models of the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle and an F-101 Voodoo for them to build together. As a youth, Dave loved flying around western Pennsylvania with his dad in Cessna 172s and Piper Cherokees. He found his idols not on baseball cards, like his buddies, but in the memoirs of fighter aces from World Wars One and Two. Failing his own military flight physical from color blindness, Dave enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, served with the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing, and later became a private pilot. He now lives on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. www.davidably.com
