Gail Ow is the author of Before Falcons Flew, a historical novel set in territorial Hawai‘i and the military airfields of Texas at the dawn of the jet age.

The novel began with a question.

She knew her father was a fighter pilot. What she didn’t know was where that journey began.

He was born on a sugar plantation.

Inspired by her father’s experiences in the largely forgotten USAF Aviation Cadet Program, Gail spent years researching and listening to her father’s stories.

Her number one goal was to put the reader in the pilot’s seat. Her father’s expertise guided the choreography of every aviation training mission.
