Lon Maisttison is a retired Southern Indiana boy who enjoyed a 43-year career in Electronics Engineering with 20 years spent in England working on Government contracts.It was during his last assignment in England (1993 to 2003),that the idea for Air Rescue Stories was conceived from day-dreams formulated in the imaginative mind of author Lon Maisttison. The author visualized these day-dream stories based against real life events happening throughout the world and injecting his own 20th century Ninja action hero. A Ninja that was not based on Western Movie type of fighters, but the original fifteenth century Japanese stealth warrior, who specialized in covert assassinations for a paid fee for services. These fifteenth century Ninja’s utilized stealth; the art of being undetected, invisible to their target, which became the basis for the Air Rescue Stories.This theme created the action hero Jimmy West – The Stealth Warrior. An action hero who is paid a million dollars a mission to infiltrate a location, knocks off all the guards with a blowgun and tranquilizer darts, secure the kidnapped person and leave silently.During the late 1990‘s, the author started compiling stores on his home computer into a written outline format about the visualized day-dream stories of that day. For years the day-dreamed stories remained dormant on his home computer until 2003 when the author came back to the United States and contracted a virus that attacked his heart that developed into congestive heart failure (CHF). During that year of recovery from a heart function of 10%, the author started researching the Mediterranean Diet to survive CHF. This research work lead to the book titled: “The Kissed of Death – Congestive Heart Failure.” So, the author made himself a promise to continue writing about CHF and in addition, started a new hobby, writing books about Air Rescue. This lead to the first book titled: “The Two Sisters of Kuwait,” written from stories developed in England.Since 2003, new day-dreamed stories began about Air Rescue with the creation of Global Rescuer, a helicopter support ship, which used hologram displays to disguise its identity i.e. stealth. In addition, four robot based fast attack gunships was created, which use voice commands, supercomputers to fly the gunship. Later, Skyspy and Gunrunner was created, both are robot aircraft. The ship/gunship creation opened an endless avenue of new stories based on Strike Force Rescues i.e. attack gunships and rescue helicopters.For the past seventeen years, these simple ideas and dreams have created fourteen books composed of one short story, six novelettes, three novellas, four novels and four novel versions of “Kissed by Death.”

Introduction

The Air Rescue Story

It all began in the 1980’s, when Air Rescue started-up a helicopter rescue business. The company’s main line of business was transporting medical patients from hospitals, picking up people at car accident sites, taking people off ships at sea and basically specializing in air pickups of all kinds. Accident rescues was Air Rescues most profitable business for years, their bread and butter so to speak, and they were very good at this line of work. Business was good.

In 1982, the business took a downturn due to the Miami riots that year. During that summer, and appreciating those times of American history, some overbearing cops in Miami beat to death a black motorcyclist which started the Miami Riots. Air Rescue was of course doing rescue work during the rioting period. The official story told by the sister aircrew flying that afternoon with the downed helicopter, indicated that the helicopter came under fire from rioters and was hit in the tail rotor, always the most dangerous spot for a helicopter, and the chopper crashed. Everyone onboard, including the patient they had picked up, was killed. That was a very bad day for Air Rescue. So, some of the rescue aircrew members with military backgrounds started carrying weapons, and on several occasions, they shot at rioters and snipers who were shooting at them.

In 1985, Air Rescue decided to officially start-up the combat rescue business and began hiring commandos from various militaries. The commando unit of Air Rescue came from an idea of one of the aircrew personnel, who had a background in Special Forces. He took it upon himself to do a little freelance work and went on a mission to rescue a businessman kidnapped in a South American country. There he successfully rescued the businessman being held by drug lords and received a very nice monetary reward from the man’s company for a good job. He returned back to work at Air Rescue, and of course, Air Rescue wanted to hear all about his rescue story because Air Rescue liked the idea behind the operation. Hence, he started up the commando unit of Air Rescue with one person and business just grew and grew.

Once the U.S. Government got wind of the military operations going on in the United States, the U.S. Government forced Air Rescue into U.S. Federal Court. Through court action, they forced Air Rescue into either leaving the United States or cease operations under a federal mandate of the Private Militias Laws brought on by all the problems with the Cuban National Front in Florida
