Filled with the tension and drama of a hurricane itself, this is a brutally realistic novel of "Hurricane Hilda," the victims of its unrelenting furry, and the men who try to understand, forecast, and minimize the effects of this deadly ravager.
William C. Anderson served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II up through the Vietnam War, retiring as a colonel. He began writing in the 1950s, with a series of columns for MATS Flyer, the magazine of the Air Force's Military Air Transport Service (later MAC Flyer, after MATS became the Military Airlift Command).
Several of his books were autobiographical accounts of the adventures of Anderson, his wife, Dortha, and their children, Ann, Scott and Holly.
