A World War II veteran ( U.S. Army Air force navigator) and graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Herbert Crowder completed an engineering career spanning thirty years before beginning his writing career. His specialty was the design and development of advanced radars for missiles and military aircraft. At Hughes Aircraft Company, where he was employed for over twenty years, he held responsible positions in the management of radar projects ranging from the famed SR-71 "Blackbird" to the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet.
