Right now I'm in the process of having the artwork completed, and securing the various photos for the book. The writing itself is basically complete, but I'm taking the time to research and add as many more of the infinite little details as I can during the interim. Transforming all of the details and information into book form has been a massive undertaking as you can probably imagine. :) Rather than just covering todays survivors, this book will cover the entire military and civilian history for each Corsair that survived beyond active military service.

It should be available at your favorite major book stores as well as via the internet. You guys won't have any trouble finding it, trust me. :)
