Notes for Monday – July 14, 2014

July 14th is the birthday of Colonel Einar A. Malmstrom. He was born in 1907 and died August 21, 1954 near Great Falls, Montana, in the crash of a T-33 jet. He was a decorated Air Force pilot, a Luft Stalag POW survivor, and a test pilot. Malmstrom AFB was one of the settings for my novel Founders. (The base was named in his honor.)
