Books by Michael C. Fox

Michael Fox was born at Farnborough Hospital in Kent during WWII. At the time, his parents were living at Biggin Hill, close to the famous aerodrome, a fact that seems to have impressed upon him an interest in military aviation ever since! He was brought up in South-East London and went into industry as a trainee metallurgist straight from school. He subsequently took an honours degree in metallurgy at Brunel University and returned to industry in the South-East of England as a research metallurgist, working firstly on the development of high temperature steels for the petrochemical and related industries and later on the marine corrosion of non-ferrous alloys. He gave up practical metallurgy upon joining the Standards Division of the British Standards Institution (BSI) in the mid-1970s, rising through a series of management positions to Resource Planning Manager and Departmental head. He left the BSI in 2001, taking the opportunity to begin writing Knights of the Skies, his first book. He is currently working on further volumes in the To Rule the Winds series, as well as a possible series of novels also based upon aspects of military aviation. Michael lives with his wife of over 40 years and a very aggressive (though slowing down) cat in a very un-model village in Kent; their two grown-up daughters and a beautiful grand-daughter live nearby.
