Unlike many

Captain Robert J. Firth

Unlike many, my books don't say much about me as the author. Quite a few readers and followers have asked, so...

I grew up in southern New Jersey, hunting, trapping fishing, clamming, camping, sailing and later, riding motorcycles, driving fast cars and and chasing girls. At university, I joined the NROTC and studied engineering. Later, I moved to Florida and learned to fly. My dad was an airline pilot and that is what I was determined to be.

I got my private, commercial, instrument, multi-engine and later my Airline Transport license with a type rating in a DC 3 on the same ride. I found a job with North Central in Minneapolis and in 66 was advised by uncle Sam that my services were required in South East Asia where a million yellow midgets wanted to kill me.

Off I went to Vietnam to fly for Air America (CIA) for 3 years and after, another 5 (not so pleasant years) in African conflict areas. Finally, back in the land of the big PX, I went to work for a number of now long defunct airlines. I ended up with 28,800 flight hours in 50 different aircraft including the B-727, 707, Lockheed Electra, DC 6, Convair 440 and 6 years in a business jet based in Milan.

I began writing about 20 years ago after some 55 years of flying into and over about everywhere there is on this small and very beautiful planet we call home. If you've read my books and posts you know I advertise on a number of social platforms. My books cover a wide area including flying (no surprise), politics, philosophy, history, religion and war (which regrettably I know a bit about). Also, there's 5 fictional adventure novels and even one about my dog.

Like most Americans of my age, I'm conservative, pro-life and anti-woke. I absolutely detest and loathe lefties of all stripes; demoRATS, groomers, trans freaks and the whacko idiots at BLM and ANTIFA. I would happily shoot anyone cheating in our elections or even thinking of desecrating or (God help them) burning my country's flag.

Of course, none of the "woke" publishers (which, I believe is all of them) will touch my books. If you all didn't help out by buying a few I'd probably have to find a job towing banners or crop dusting and at my age, I'd likely kill myself. So, I just wanted to say THANKS for your support and the great questions and comments.

I'm in Florida so we're free, no vax, masks or any "woke" de-population nonsense here. Actually, no one I know took the poison or ever wore a mask. While still flying (and for years after) I lived on a sailboat cruising the islands in warm Caribbean waters. If you haven't visited my book site, please check http://www.robert-j-firth.com. If any seem interesting send a note and I'll attach a copy. Amazon has the print versions.
