Take a step through time and discover the action-packed life of a naval aircrewman, with stories spanning decades and enthralling readers with their comical (and cynical) tones.
Before he became an author of his own stories, Henry Dale Bishop was a naval aircrewman for years. Throughout his service, he encountered colorful characters-both within his squadron and in civilian life; he risked his life on more than one occasion; and he seemed to live a lifetime of incredible experiences in only a handful of years.
Within the pages of Tales of a Navy Career: Short Stories of a Naval Aircrewman, Bishop shares a confiding, inside look at being a naval aircrewman. He delights military nonfiction readers with stories such as:
- Pickled Beer
- Lessons In Leadership
- Wanna Go To An Air Show?
- Bachelor Party
- ...and more.
Bishop's naval career started around the age of 12, when he first figured he would end up joining. After all, his dad, three uncles, four cousins, and oldest brother had served. However, Bishop's family doubted he'd be a good fit. As he himself puts it, "I was an untamed hellion coupled with continuous self-inflicted calamity."
Despite his early start, Bishop did go into the Navy and became an aircrewman. He experienced some of the best and worst days of his life. And now, he's sharing his best stories with readers everywhere.
