About the Author

Still very much enjoying life in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. Our extended family has grown to include another grandson in 2020—our little COVID bundle of joy. Other great news is that our oldest son and family have built their forever home on our estate, and joined us this year. This book is the third I have produced over the years: one non-fiction in 1983, during service regarding air combat; my 2020 offering “Fate Has Control”; and my latest, “Fate Out of Control.” This book pretty much brings us up to the present time, and the many challenges we all may face going forward. I came across the song “I’m Unstoppable” by Sia recently that pretty much nails the mindset of a fighter pilot about to engage—best of the best indeed! Finally, for those readers who think that the Canadian military capability with respect to defence and surveillance couldn’t possibly be as limited as I portray in this book, I beg to differ—considering WWIII may be in the cards, our state of preparation is, in my opinion, extremely lacking. Best wishes to all readers . . .
