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!!!

From the blog
The Odd Duck that Was Lord Germain
In this position, Lord Germain was responsible for civil administration as well as military operations. At the time, each of the 13 Colonies had their own legislatures chartered by the Crown and Royal Governors who, while they were appointed by the King, they reported to their secretaries of state for their department. Operationally, the commanders of the British Army units in North America reported to him as well as those Royal Navy ships and squadrons tasked to support the war.
The First League of Armed Neutrality
Admiralty Law requires that blockading ships must be outside the port’s entrance or positioned in choke points such as the entrance to the English Channel or the Skagerrak between Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Legally speaking, a country that has declared a blockade does not have the right to stop ships on the high seas unless it has credible evidence that the ship is carrying contraband.
The 10 Men Who Lost America
Since King George III was in power, he’s a good place to start. However, he had nine more willing accomplices whose decisions and policies doomed them to failure.Why would British policies fail? After all, it had an empire that spanned the globe. Four reasons come to mind.
Limits of British Power
At the height of their “power” during the American Revolution, the British Army held New York, Savannah, Charleston, Newport, RI, and Wilmington, NC. In the thinking of the time, if they captured Philadelphia, the Revolution’s capital, the war would be over. The Continental Congress simply moved west for the year (July 1777 to July 1778) the British Army held Philadelphia, and the war continued.
