At just 30 years old, Trevor McIntyre has quickly established himself as one of the leading authorities on the Boeing B-29 "Superfortress" and 20th Air Force operations during WWII. With a life long interest in the B-29 beginning at a very early age when he used to hide behind his father's chair in the family room and admire the pictures in a book about B-29's, Trevor's interest in the B-29 has only continued to grow in intensity over the years. A passionate and relentless collector of B-29 parts and militaria, Trevor has amassed one of the largest and most diverse private collections of B-29 and 20th Air Force militaria in existence; on par and often exceeding the collections held by many of the finest Air Museums in the Country. He hopes to feature the collection in a museum of his own one day, dedicated to the B-29 and 20th Air Force (no such museum solely for this purpose exists today.)

But for as much as some would like to label him a "historian," Trevor considers himself not a student of history, but rather a practitioner of history with first-hand experience working on and restoring the very aircraft and components he writes about. Long active in the maintenance and restoration of "Warbirds," Trevor writes from a unique perspective of having actual hands-on experience with aircraft of the Second World War, particularly the B-29. This experience brings a rare level of insight and understanding that is sadly lacking from virtually all authors of today who write of the same subject, and this authoritative first-hand knowledge is cleary reflected in his writing.

A native of Orlando, Trevor currently resides in rural North Georgia where he continues his life long passion for writing; as well as collecting and preserving the history of the Boeing B-29 "Superfortress"...one piece at a time.
