A young fighter pilot in the closing months of the European air war in World War II, Robert Huddleston completed 36 combat missions while developing a desire to know more about the German rocket program. A university education under the GI Bill was followed by employment at the White Sands Missile Range--WSMR--where ex-German rocket experts were employed. He then moved on to Washington, joining the newly established space agency--NASA--first at the Goddard Space Flight Center in nearby Maryland, later at NASA headquarters. After leaving federal service, he became a freelance writer, publishing articles, essays, book reviews, and short stories. He also published a biography of a Mexican-American patriot, Edmundo: From Chiapas, Mexico to Park Avenue (2007), and a novella, An American Pilot with the Luftwaffe (2014). Huddleston received degrees from the University of Missouri, George Washington University, and graduated from the National Defense University in Washington as a representative of NASA. He and his wife, Pepita Lassalle, reside in a retirement community near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he continues publishing as a freelancer.
