Michael moved to Chicago in 1980 and adopted the city, becoming engrossed in its fascinating history. Following a career working with IBM large-system mainframe computers, he rekindled his interest in aviation.
As part of a community-liaison group associated with Palwaukee Airport, Michael became the airport's unofficial historian. His research about Palwaukee resulted in a presentation which he has given many times to various aviation and community organizations including a forum at EAA's AirVenture in Oshkosh.
Michael nominated Chicago aviation pioneer Edward Bayard Heath to the Illinois Aviation Hall of Fame, and made a presentation about Heath at the group's Induction Banquet. Determined to give youth a chance to pursue their early interest in aviation, Michael volunteers with youth aviation groups including Aviation Explorer Post #9 and Young Eagles, both at Chicago Executive Airport, as well as the annual Aviation Exploration Base held during AirVenture.
Aviation Chicago Timeline is Michael's first book addressing his twin passions for Chicago and aviation. His insatiable curiosity and research uncover fascinating events otherwise unknown. His meticulous attention to detail and copious references enable the reader to satisfy their own curiosity. Michael formed Aviation Chicago Press to publish this work as well as future non-fiction titles by himself and other authors.vizualizați mai puține
