He has had many accomplishments and was truly a remarkable aviator.

I had the good fortune to meet Captain Buck about threes years ago; it was a thrill to meet him. I had read some of his books when I was a teenager and knew a bit about his accomplishments, but I had not yet read North Star Over My Shoulder. After talking with him, I bought the book right away; it's an amazing story and I highly recommend it.
