Video Podcast
When I first started my YouTube channel, the plan was to provide “teasers” on speeches as well as insight into each book. Well, that has evolved. So, what you’ll start seeing on my channel are recordings of speeches, albeit edited a bit as well as videos on specific topics.
I plan to add the videos frequently which may be recorded in a studio, in front of a live audience or in the privacy of my office. The content is going to be interesting and often shed fresh light on old topics, or cover topics of interest to those who have read my novels and those who don’t.
The focus is going to be on aviation, but I reserve the right to add a my two cents to a timely topic.
So stay tuned, and most of all SUBSCRIBE!!!

The German officers were confident that their force of 1,400 men would easily defeat any militia they would find
Prelude to the Battle of Saratoga – Part I
The British leadership believed the strength of the Patriot cause was in New England. Their divide-and-conquer strategy was based on the theory that by cutting the northern states – CT, MA, NH, NY, and RI – off from the rest, the revolution would collapse.
Blockades Don’t Always Work, or Do They?
What prevented the Royal Navy’s blockade from being totally effective? After all, the Royal Navy had a successful history of blockading French and other European ports. The answer lies in distance, geography, number of ports, a lack of resources, and weather.
The Final Three Frigates
In the minds of the men who authorized the 13 frigates, their primary role was to slip out of the ports where they were based and take prizes. The goal was to disrupt British commerce and divert Royal Navy ships from blockading U.S. ports. As a result, they were designed to be fast and maneuverable.
