Ladies and Gentlemen, A posting like this is always appropriate for the FLYIN list but please excuse a diversion from the normal rule of posting only Coupe related topics on TECH. This I do because Bill Coons, the author, is one of our best Coupers and many of us know and love him as a great friend. For this announcement, we don't want to miss the few people who only subscribe to TECH. The front and back cover of Bill's new book are posted on my website at: http://edburkhead.com/Ercoupe/bill_coons_cover.htm Best wishes to you, Bill, now and on your next flight.

Cover only. I have always tried to finish the book before I was finished, and I made it. Tomorrow I meet with the people who will send it to be published. 62 years thinking about and 3 years writing it. It will contain a history of drones and over 100 photographs, some of them very rare.. I will also explain, for the first time, exactly how the drones participated in the NOLO (no live operator) exercises in the Pacific. This from the actual pilots who flew the missions.. I didn't know if would be appropriate to send to the group because it did not relate to Coupes, but many have asked to be advised when it was done. My lung evaluation numbers continue to fall and I am very weak, except that I am ok with the computer. I need oxygen full time now. This afternoon my Pulmonary Doctor wants to talk to my wife and my daughter. I will keep you advised. Anyway, have a Merry Xmas and a Happy and healthy New Year, If you think it is appropiate, maybe you could relay the attachment to the group. I open every coupe e mail!
