About this ebook

THE BOYS WHO BRING IN THE CROP is a mostly true story about a group of amateur marijunana smugglers who operated out of Florida in the mid seventies. These guys really had some cajones, they did their thing right under the noses of the law. They made seven flights to Colombia and back and never got caught, partly because they were smart and planned well, partly because of dumb luck.

The book is fast paced, it all takes place in less than one year. Along the way there is plenty of adventure, not everything goes as planned. There is some romance thrown in, these guys knew how to enjoy life with the piles of money they accumulated.

Author

Spike Nasmyth

Spike Nasmyth started off life in Billings, Montana on 14 November 1940. He first flew at the controls of an airplane in 1961. He earned his private pilot's license in 1962. After graduation from the University of Idaho he went on to U.S. Air Force pilot training at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio, Texas. Spike graduated high enough in his class to get one of the three fighter assignments. He was assigned to the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. On 4 September 1966, Spike was flying as aircraft commander in an F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber on an Alpha Strike against targets in North Vietnam. He was shot down by a Surface to Air Missile (SAM) north of Hanoi and spent the next six and a half years as a Prisoner of War. His book "2355 DAYS" recounts those days as a POW. After release from North Vietnam, Spike separated from the Air Force and began a life in civil aviation. From 1961 to the present, he has logged over twenty thousand hours in a variety of aircraft. In the seventies, Spike flew in Florida and the Mediterranean where he met a lot of not so legal folks. His book, "THE BOYS WHO BRING IN THE CROP" in based on those meetings. Spike flew float planes in Canada, Grumman amphibians in Thailand, DC-3s in Asia, Beaver and Islander in Palau, sea-planes in the Philippines, plus he's the survivor of more than 50 ferry flights in all kinds of planes. This book "SO YOU WANT TO BE A FERRY PILOT" describes some of the more exciting ferry missions. In July of 2002, Spike left Asia where he'd lived since 1987 and moved back to the States, he now lives in southern California with his wife, Lucille and daughter, Maebelyn. He's still flying planes and working on a couple more books.
