Norman Fine is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering. His freshman-year English professor told him he should become a writer, but Norman insisted that he would be an engineer. Which he was for the first chapter of his adult life. He and an associate founded an electronics engineering company that designed and produced state-of-the-art equipment for the FAA’s air traffic control system, NASA’s Apollo 11 moon landing, specialized aerial reconnaissance missions by Naval and Air Forces during the Cold War, and the burgeoning computer industry. The next chapter of Norman’s adult life began when he and his wife, Joan, moved from Massachusetts to Virginia’s horse country. There, he began to fulfill his English professor’s counsel by writing articles for equestrian sporting magazines in the U.S. and England. He created two magazines over a twenty-five-year period and served as editor. Norman has written four books and hundreds of articles published in U.S. and U.K. sporting periodicals about equestrian sport. His most recent book, however, having been on his mind for the last quarter century, represents a radical departure from his sporting subjects. "Blind Bombing: How Microwave Radar Brought the Allies to D-Day and Victory in World War II" relates the little-known narrative of the secret Allied invention most influential in the winning of the war. Written for the non-technical reader, "Blind Bombing" was awarded the silver medal in World History at the 2020 Independent Book Publishers Awards. Norman’s uncle played a combat role in the story as one member of a disparate assortment of statesmen, scientists, and warriors who, in the face of high-level apathy and resistance by many of their peers, embraced the new invention to design and introduce into combat new offensive weapons of war as yet unknown to the enemy.
