On Wings Of Eagles (1990)

Many people helped me by talking to me for hours on end, by replying to my letters, and by reading and correcting drafts of the book. For their patience, frankness, and willing cooperation, I thank especially the following:Paul and Ruthie Chiapparone, Bill and Emily Gaylord;Jay and Liz Coburn, Joe Poche, Pat and Mary Sculley, Ralph and Mary Boulware, Jim Schwebach, Ron Davis, Glenn Jackson;Bill Gayden, Keane Taylor, Rich and Cathy Gallagher, Paul Bucha, Lloyd Briggs, Bob Young, John Howell, "Rashid," Toni Dvoranchik, Kathy Marketos;T. J. Marquez, Tom Walter, Tom Luce;Merv Stauffer, for whom nothing is too much trouble;Margot Perot, Bette Perot;John Carlen, Anita Melton;Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Ramsey Clark, Bob Strauss, William Sullivan, Charles Naas, Lou Goelz, Henry Precht, John Stempel;Dr. Manuchehr Razmara;Stanley Simons, Bruce Simons, Harry Simons;Lieutenant Colonel Charles Krohn at the Pentagon;Major Dick Meadows, Major General Robert McKinnon; Dr. Walter Stewart, Dr. Harold Kimmerling.

As usual, I was helped by two indefatigable researchers, Dan Starer in New York and Caren Meyer in London.

I was also helped by the remarkable switchboard staff at EDS headquarters in Dallas.

More than a hundred hours of taped interviews were transcribed, mainly by Sally Walther, Claire Woodward, Linda Huff, Cheryl Hibbitts, and Becky DeLuna.

Finally I thank Ross Perot, without whose astonishing energy and determination not only this book, but the adventure that is its subject, would have been impossible.
