Manuscript Missing

Carl Frey Constein, born into what Tom Brokaw has dubbed The Greatest Generation, grew up in the eastern State Pennsylvania Fleetwood City during the Great Depression of the 1930s. After college he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. For his ninety-six missions as C-46 pilot across the Himalayan ＂Hump＂ he was awarded two Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He recalls his year in the China-Burma-India theater of operations in the WWII memoir Born to Fly the Hump. After leaving military service in 1945, Constein pursued a doctorate at Temple University, majoring in English and educational administration. He was an English teacher, director of curriculum, superintendent of schools, education writer and columnist, and education director for business-industry. He retired at the turn of the millennium, leaving behind a lifetime of nose-to-the grindstone adventures as WWII pilot and public school educator to chase his favorite phantom-becoming an author. Manuscript Missing is his seventh book. Constein lives outside State Pennsylvania, in the borough of Wernersville.
