As a schoolboy, Ron George seemed an unlikely airplane pilot. By his own admission, he was scared of heights and was so uncoordinated he couldn't hit a baseball or fly a paper airplane. He went on, however, to become a United States Air Force pilot who flew supersonic T-38 aircraft and logged more than 1,400 hours of jet aircraft time during his five-year Air Force career. His flying included 200 hours of combat air time in Southeast Asia as the co-pilot on an unarmed KC-135 jet tanker refueling American fighters and bombers striking targets in North Vietnam. He and his aircrew witnessed the Communist "Tet Offensive" in South Vietnam in 1968 and participated in the "Pueblo Incident" in Korea. When Ron upgraded to aircraft commander, he was thought to be the youngest aircraft commander in the Strategic Air Command since World War II. He served in Texas, Alaska, Greenland, Newfoundland, Okinawa, and Southeast Asia. Captain George's military decorations include the Air Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Air Force Expeditionary Medal. This book captures the sights, sounds, smells, feelings, and dry humor of flying and Air Force squadron life during the Cold War with the Soviets and the Hot War in Southeast Asia during the 1960s. The author lives in Austin, Texas. , Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Eakin Press, Eakin Press, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2015-07-27, Release date: 2015-07-27, Studio: Eakin Press, Sales rank: 206445.

Wildlife biologists manage a vast range of wildlife, from seemingly insignificant species, such as mice, to formidable top predators, such as mountain lions. They know that all animal and plant species are crucial to the survival of the others. Ron George was a twenty-six-year-old Air Force jet tanker pilot when he first heard about wildlife biology and began to pursue his education in the field. He spent the next thirty years as a wildlife biologist, and it has been an exciting, sometimes dangerous career. He has roped rattlesnakes, night-lighted pheasants, driven mice, and radio-collared mountain lions. He has heard the call of the sandhill crane, the prairie chicken, and the white-winged dove. He has explored some of the most beautiful and exotic wildlife areas on earth: Costa Rica, land of quetzals and hummingbirds; China, home to the red-crowned cranes; Hawaii, with its nenes and apanaes; Australia, known for kangaroos and wombats. This story captures the inside view of a profession which, like no other, brings humans into contact with the glory of the natural world-which works to conserve that world for future generations.
