Lt. Arlen R. "Baldy" Baldridge was one of four 359th Fighter Group pilots shot down on 21 May 1944. When his mother died, John and Charlotte Baldridge discovered letters Baldy had written to the family. Resolving that Baldy's loss never be forgotten, Charlotte began accumulating an extensive 359th archive, and in 1994 was appointed Historian for the 359th Fighter Group Association. Charlotte assisted on a number of books and articles, including Mustangs & Unicorns: A History of the 359th FG by Jack H. Smith, USAAF Fighter Stories by Ian McLachlan, and Fogg in the Cockpit by Richard and Janet Fogg. Janet Fogg's focus on writing began when she was CFO of one of Colorado's largest architectural firms. Fifteen writing awards later she resigned to follow the yellow brick road, and soon after signed a contract for Soliloquy, a HOLT Medallion Award of Merit winner. With Casemate, she and husband Richard published Fogg in the Cockpit, nominated by the Air Force Historical Society for best WWII book reviewed in Air Power History. She's recently enjoyed the release of two new novels. You can learn more at janetfogg.com/. A New Jersey native, Richard Fogg was raised in Colorado after the family moved to Boulder in 1955. He graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in English Literature and, inspired by his father's service, served in the U.S. Air force for four years, including a year in Vietnam. Richard was a VP and Trust Officer with a Boulder bank and then became a small-business owner. Fogg in the Cockpit, based on the wartime diary of his father, Captain Howard Fogg, lead to Richard's extensive WWII research, with a focus on the 359th Fighter Group and P-51 Mustangs. His work on A Manifest Spirit has reinforced his goal of honoring those who served.
