Writing and Technology Themes

Gail is the author of Before Falcons Flew, a historical novel inspired by the life of a Korean War–era U.S. Air Force aviator.

Through historical fiction, she explores moments when technological transformation reshapes both warfare and everyday life. The early jet age marked one of those turning points in aviation history, when a new generation of pilots entered flight training just as military aviation was rapidly evolving.

Her interest in this period reflects a broader fascination with eras of technological transition. Just as the jet age transformed aviation, today’s advances in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are reshaping the systems people rely on every day.
