Question
Our campus bookstore has a customer who is interested in purchasing six copies of your book, Remembering An Unsung Giant - The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster and Its People.  Can you make any suggestions as to where I can find them?

Thanks!

Answer
Dear Judy,

Just a follow-up on your question. Does your customer still want six copies of my book aobut the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster.

I am the author and publisher of Remembering an Unsung Giant. Will you be purchasing them through the bookstore or will the customer purchase them directly? For the bookstore, my discount price is $20.97 per copy, plus shipping and handling. Direct to the customer, the price is $34.95 per copy, plus S&H (and sales tax, if in the State of Washington). Via the bookstore, please send an email purchase order to me at firstfleet@aol.com. My terms are payment within 30 days of receipt.

If the customer is buying directly, please give him my email address and I can figure what the S&H will be to his address. He can then send me a check to cover the costs and I will ship immediately upon receipt of the check.

All copies are signed by the author and individually wrapped in plastic film. I also include an info sheet on four other interesting books and a vacuform model of the C-133.

Thanks very much for the interest.

Expertise

Questions about the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster, its history, operations and technical information. I wrote and published the definitive history of the C-133, Remembering an Unsung Giant: The Douglas C-133 Cargomaster and Its People. Someone has done a good job of extracting material from my book for the article about the C-133 on AllExperts. I AM NOT an expert on educational opportunities in India or other countries and request that such questions be directed elsewhere. I will not answer such questions because I do not have the knowledge to do so adequately.

Experience

I accrued 1,837 hours as a C-133 navigator out of a total of 6,738 flying hours in the USAF. Twelve years of that time were as a crew member, the other years were in various training assignments and as a USAF intelligence officer. My flying experience includes time in the B-52H, C-141, C-133, AC-130, C-130 and the C-5A. I have considerable knowledge in general aviatio history.
