Death is a Hunter

Book excerpt: An American born of German ancestry in the Philippines, Henry W. Schober has survived four massacres during his lucky life. Joining the US Army in 1945, he became a veteran of World War Two, the Korean and Vietnam Wars and has seen death first hand. In Death Is A Hunter, Henry shares his experiences and close encounters from paratrooper to pilot to Lieutenant Colonel during his 25-year army career. Clocking up 10,000 hours of flying rotary and fixed wing aircraft he has survived about a dozen engine failures and emergency landings in such places as a river bed, a rose garden and in pine trees. Retiring to Greece, and later Australia, his adventures continued in scuba diving, sailing and of course flying. With the death of many close friends and the recent loss of a loved one it seems death is still on the hunt for Henry. Find out how close he came so many times in Death Is A Hunter.
