An aviation enthusiast and writer, Ben Cole has published numerous articles for regional and national publications over the last three decades. A native of Alabama, after high school, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and after a tour in Vietnam, returned home and enrolled in Auburn University where he graduated in 1971 with Bachelor or Arts degree.
He settled in the Atlanta area and now lives in Suwanee, Georgia with his family at " Bent Tube Airport." which is in reality the family's oversized backyard that is just large enough for his ultralight airplane. It was there more than twenty years ago that he met Buck Brooks whose story planted the seed for this book.
