                Trumans be crazy (some of them)
 There's a family tradition of doing interesting things. The author poses with his Uncle George Truman's Piper Cub (actually a Piper PA-12) that circumnavigated the globe in 1947, leading a team of two identical Pipers across two oceans and a number of continents. One of the 100-horsepower aircraft is on display in the Smithsonian in DC; the other is flown out of the Piper Museum in Lock Haven PA.
​The author's next book is going to be the story of that incredible journey. A pilot seeking fame and celebrity was accompanied by a baby-faced warrior who had become unhappy with his post-war life in America and was checking out the entire world for someplace to get away from it all.
​George Truman found fame, but only 15 minutes' worth of it. His wingman never really came home, spending much of the rest of his life fighting foreign wars.
