The Rogue Colonel contains three World War II test pilots' first-hand recollections of flying with their infamous leader, Daddy Thyson. "Don't call me Colonel, call me Daddy..". that's what Colonel Thyson said to the dozen or so Army Air Corps test pilots who reported to him. Not exactly standard Army protocol, but nothing about Daddy Thyson was even close to orthodox. Thyson's style rubbed off on his men, producing a series of outlandish exploits that were recorded by three of them over forty years later. Those stories make up the bulk of this one-of-a-kindl memoir, authored by Mike Thieme, the only one of the three men still living, with research and annotations by his daughter, Susan Rope. Thyson's antics seemingly couldn't, or wouldn't, or shouldn't have happened in the military, then or now. On one occasion Thieme protested, "Colonel, this is just too hot to handle!" But Thyson loved thwarting the system, and he was astute, persuasive, and lucky enough to get away with it. Maybe in spite of Thyson, these noncombat pilots made important contributions to the war effort, testing a wide variety of the latest military aircraft and engineering solutions under extreme winter conditions at Ladd Field near Fairbanks, Alaska. It was hazardous work, to say the least. There was one fatality, one miraculous survival story, and many near misses. Shortly after the war, Thyson's luck ran out, spectacularly, enhancing his mythic status in the eyes of the men who served with him. The three contributors of these stories went on to become leaders in their chosen fields of business and law, remaining friends throughout their lives. The author, Walter I. (Mike) Thieme, a native of Missoula, Montana, graduated in Engineering from Montana State in 1942, just in time to be ordered to active duty with the Army Air Corps. After the war, he received an MBA from Harvard and made his career in business, eventually becoming CEO of American Aggregates Corporation. Fo

Get ready for a thrilling ride with Colonel Ethan Sinclare in a quest for truth. The government and those in power will go to great lengths to conceal their secrets, enlisting the help of Captain Sullivan and her capable team, to prevent the Colonel from exposing the truth. As you read through the pages, you will find yourself at the edge of your seat, wondering what happens next. Is this reality or fiction? The story may have a hint of familiarity as it draws inspiration from present-day events. In just a few pages, you will gain a wealth of knowledge. The characters in this tale are not just figments of the author's imagination. They could be your next-door neighbor, your colleague, or even the person you see in the mirror. The story is a reminder that truth can be elusive and that those in power often have a vested interest in keeping secrets hidden. But it also reminds us that there are people out there who are willing to fight for what is right, even if it means putting themselves in harm's way. As you turn the pages, you will find yourself rooting for Colonel Sinclare and his team, hoping that they will succeed in their mission. And when you reach the end, you will realize that the journey was just as important as the destination. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Another Great Book by RP Stanton and Kathy Deen.

Having witnessed a number of unlawful deeds for which, either because of political constraints or shear ineptitude, proper justice is denied, "The Colonel" engages in his own methods of retribution. Over time and with a much wider sympathy with his motives than he might have presupposed, he is instrumental in establishing a covert organization that increasingly permeates society at large. That is, until a certain turn of events leads to his own arrest and imprisonment. The events that prompt this highly decorated and very courageous military officer to take the law into his own hands provide a fascinating view of contemporary life.

The book is a fiction, based on some of the real-time anti-militant operations, conducted by the author in Kashmir Valley, during the period 1992-95. A time when local sentiments were on the boil, blatantly used by a rogue neighboring country and turning it into a proxy war. The era depicts heavy-armed confrontations between the radicals and the Indian Army on its own soil. It is a comprehensive portrayal of the war-like situation prevailing in the valley during the period, the audacity displayed by the army in taming the belligerents, as also the efforts made to win back the hearts and minds of the local population. It is a collation of few high dividend operations selected based on the degree of difficulty and the value addition in achieving the task with minimum collateral damages.
