Dana DuthieColonel Dana Duthie, USAF (Ret), was a 24 year fighter pilot in the US Air Force. He began his military career at the Virginia Military Institute, graduating as a second lieutenant in 1968. He served a tour in Southeast Asia as a Forward Air Controllr, then it was on to Germany flying the F-4 Phantom. Much of his current book, DARK RAIN, spawned from that tour. Dana upgraded to the F-16 Fighting Falcon in 1982, served as a Gunsmoke Team Chief for his wing at Shaw AFB, S.C., followed by Operations Officer of the 19th Tac fighter Squadron. The highlight of his career was as the squadron commander of the 80th Fighter Squadron Headhunters in Korea. He finished up his career after three years at the Pentagon, finally back in the cockpit as the Director for Operations of the 50th Tac Fighter Wing at Hahn Air Base, Germany. His two tours in germany and his time in Washington were the background to the production of DARK RAIN. Prequels to DARK RAIN are coming, one based on the tour in Korea, and another based on the F-4 days in Germany. He wrote these books as tributes to the men and women he served with in the Air Force, many of whom will find themselves, or someone vaguely familiar in the stories. Read More Read Less
