First chapter of my 3rd edited collection edited. I have learned some things. This time authors have to submit the chapter first rather than me asking them to commit to writing a chapter 🤪

What is the value of joint PME? Since a new piece just came out from some Naval War College profs, I thought I’d post my piece with some ACSC profs and a SAMS prof smallwarsjournal.com/2025/05/23/j...

Excited that my chapter on combat motivation of bomber crews in WWII is coming out along with some great scholarship!
Thrilled to share the cover of my next book: Airpower and the Normandy Campaign. It's an edited collection containing 14 chapters on the Normandy air war. The book, published by Naval Institute Press (@navalinstitute.bsky.social), will be out in September.
