WARPATH – ACROSS THE PACIFIC – THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE 345th BOMBARDMENT GROUP DURING WORLD WAR II « SIGNED BOOK & LIKE NEW »

Larry has been fascinated by aviation since his boyhood in Wichita, Kansas, where his father was a Project Engineer for the Boeing Company. In 1966, he graduated from Rockhurst College in Kansas City with a degree in History. He spent the next year living with a Vietnamese family in Saigon while working as a researcher for the Department of the Air Force. During this period, he traveled widely throughout Vietnam and flew as an observer on numerous combat missions.

After completing several detailed studies on the effects of air operations in Southeast Asia, he returned to the U.S. to pursue graduate studies. He subsequently became an analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency, where he ran the South Vietnam political desk. During the next four years, Larry served in the Order of Battle Section, the Southeast Asia Situation Room, and as a Political Analyst for North Vietnam.

Concurrently, he served as a consultant to the National Security Council staff on enemy plans and operations. At the direction of the President, he returned to Vietnam in 1970 to conduct research in the Mekong Delta for a major ceasefire planning study.

After a highly successful intelligence career, he left government service in 1972 to become a private businessman, pursuing interests in manufacturing, real estate development, writing, and publishing. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife Sue, where he manages his investments and is a full-time author and publisher.
