Autorenporträt
Clint Coffey recently retired as a Correctional Supervisor after 23 years working in a Canadian prison. He has a passionate, lifelong interest in history- reading his father's pilot's logbook, he realized there was a story there that needed to be told. He spent six years successfully tracking down the families of his father's Bomber Command crewmates, all of whom contributed to the book. He shone a light on family secrets and hidden burdens, interviewed the last surviving member of the crew, and unexpectedly forged a new and profound level of respect for his Dad. Clint lives in Maple Ridge, B.C., with his wife Tasnim and their two cats, Mavis and Clara. Retirement has allowed him to spend more time with family, and to indulge his passions of reading, cycling and drinking craft beer.
