John Tippets

"In Hearts of Courage John Tippets has done a wonderful job giving voice to his father in telling his story."

"None can match the Gillam crash survivors for sheer heroism in the face of impossible odds. Their courage was inspiring!"
- Ric Gillespie, Executive Director, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR)
