Mark E. Berent was a decorated U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel from Minneapolis who served three combat tours in the Vietnam War, and turned his experiences into a bestselling series of war fiction called “Rolling Thunder.” Book 1 in the five-book series, published in 1989, tops today’s Buffet. It’s the kind of realistic, historical war fiction that could be written only be a real-life air combat veteran.
Since his retirement from the military, Mark established international operations for the sale of spares for combat aircraft; flew foreign aircraft such as the Swedish Viggen and RAF Jaguar and Hawk; wrote numerous articles for the Air Force Magazine; was a pilot/reporter for the Asian Defense Journal, and flies jets in air shows.
Nowadays Mark resides in Arizona and rides in Montana roundups. He is a frequent guest speaker at Oshkosh, F-16 graduation banquets, and corporate functions.
