During his 26 years as a US Navy aviator, he flew to forty-three countries, lived in six and for many years flew missions to and from aircraft carriers at sea.
Harrison earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas, Arlington, a Master of Arts degree from Michigan State University, and a Master of Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. He currently is an associate professor of aeronautics for Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
Tarnished Wings is based on actual events that occurred during his naval career and his experience as a Navy flight instructor and a flight leader in which he supervised 35 Navy flight instructors and an average student load of sixty to seventy flight students.
Harrison began work on Tarnished Wings while living in Fontana Vecchia, a 350-year-old villa in Taormina, Sicily, formerly the home to two internationally famous writers, D.H. Lawrence and Truman Capote. He continues to live in Taormina, Sicily.lihat lebih sedikit
