Del Laughery is a 21-year veteran of the U.S. submarine service. He served aboard USS Jacksonville, SSN-699, USS George Washington Carver, SSBN-656, USS Pasadena, SSN-752, and USS Norfolk, SSN-714. He was aboard Jacksonville during her collision with a Turkish freighter in 1982, and in a cruel twist of fate got assigned to her again as his final boat - following the Norfolk - and was aboard for another collision in 1996.
In addition to his submarine background he's a private pilot, aviation photographer, and works in the aviation industry at Pratt & Whitney. If you know aviation, you know that company. He leads the military jet engine training program there.
According to Del, "Writing these books came as something of an accident. I didn't "get the bug" to write. Instead, I just started writing down thoughts about my submarine career, which eventually became the backbone for Death From Below. Boneyard Almanac came into being as a byproduct of my aviation photography. After numerous visits to Davis-Monthan AFB, I suddenly had a few thousand photos along with a desire to share them."
