Speede Speede

I Remember Speede Speede

Born and raised in Albany Georgia, Speedy, picked up this nick name when assigned to Strategic Air Command HQ at Omaha, Nebraska, in the early 60's. These are a collection of poems written by him over a period of 60 plus years while serving 30 years in the Air Force and 20 plus years as a stock broker in Melbournem, Fl. The poems about combat were in most cases actual experiences lived by Speedy as a combat pilot in three wars: World War II, Cold War and Vietnam. His soon to be headquarters supervisors in the Vietnam war could not believe the dangers he encounterd until they managed to accompany him on a night mission.
