And Other Declassified Tales
Declassified files. Forgotten history. One impossible witness.
Before we reached the stars, someone was already waiting for us.
History records the milestones of the Space Age: Roswell, the U-2, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo. It celebrates the engineers, pilots, and astronauts who transformed impossible dreams into reality.
But history is built from official records, and official records are not always complete.
The First Flight follows Thomas Ilyan, a mysterious figure who appears at pivotal moments throughout America’s journey into space. Never seeking recognition and never growing older, he quietly guides events from the shadows, offering just enough insight to keep humanity moving toward its destiny among the stars.
Blending meticulously researched aerospace history with compelling fiction, The First Flight invites readers to reconsider the moments they thought they knew, and to wonder what may have been left out of the record.
