"Thirty Minutes Over Oregon": spring 2016

Japanese pilot Nobuo Fujita’s flight over a U.S. state in 1942 was historic yet little-known; it was also quick—the title of my book about this postulates that it lasted only thirty minutes.

My journey to publish this book has lasted seven years.

And on 1/10/14, I finally reached the horizon: Jennifer Greene of Clarion Books made an offer.

I’m beyond thrilled to announce that the book will land in spring 2016. 

Thank you to all who have believed in this story. 

The best part of it starts now.

From Publishers Marketplace (2/10/14):

Boys of Steel author Marc Tyler Nobleman’s Thirty Minutes Over Oregon, the true story of Nobuo Fujita, the Japanese WWII pilot who became the first and still only person to bomb the United States mainland from a plane—and who returned twenty years later to apologize—to Jennifer Greene at Clarion, for publication in Spring 2016.

Bombs—and jaws—will drop.
