Goodreads asked Larry Nicholl:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Larry Nicholl My most recent book is Nadya: The Restoration of a Flying Tiger. It will come out in January. It is based on the experience I had as a nine or ten year old, when I went to my babysitter and a stranger was sitting on the sofa of the living room. I asked him why his face was so messed up. He replied that he had been a pilot in the Flying Tigers and had crashed a lot of times. The story I wrote starts with this experience. I soon realized that he was an alcoholic and had come home to die in his mother's house.
