Autorenporträt
Geoff Goodchild was born in Lincolnshire in 1951. Qualifying as a pilot in 1969, he pursued a career in the airline industry, retiring in 2006 as a long-haul Airbus captain. He continues to work in flight simulators with trainee airline pilots. His first close encounter with Thor, aged 9, kindled a fascination with the missile of which this book is the result. Always passionate about anything that can be made to fly, his hobbies include rocketry, aero modelling and light aviation. He lives with his partner Jan and their two sons in Northamptonshire.
