Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Crossing the Rubicon' offers a connotation of being at a 'Point of no Return'. Lt. Col. Wil Casey has many times approached a Rubicon, but now more than eight decades old, he has not yet reached his personal Rubicon. He has flown many aircraft in many difficult situations including 308 Combat Missions in Vietnam and hundreds more exciting excursions in Flight Test and in hauling VIPs around Europe. He is the recipient of The Distinguished Flying Cross, 13 Air Medals, and 3 Air Force Commendation Medals for Valor. Not long after retiring from the Air Force in 1980 Colonel Casey had a stroke that left him with near total amnesia. Through this book he has enjoyed sharing much of the part of his life that he remembers. Recall though, hasn't yet brought back most of the names of crew members he flew with nor of people with whom he worked. So most of the names used in this book are fictitious. Some well-known personalities are excepted. All of the stories however, are factually related to his ever improving memory. Watch for a sequel!
