Bruce Gamble is a disabled veteran and long-term cancer survivor, Bruce has used a manual wheelchair for more than half his life. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, he earned his US Navy wings as an Overwater Jet Navigator in 1982 and served in VQ-1, an electronic reconnaissance squadron, deploying twice aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson during the closing years of the Cold War.
In 1988, while assigned to Training Air Wing Six in Pensacola as a flight instructor, Bruce was diagnosed with a malignant spinal tumor and underwent a complicated surgery. Medically retired the following year, he volunteered at the National Museum of Naval Aviation and later worked as the staff historian for the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation. His oral history interviews were published in Foundation magazine until 1996, when Bruce made the leap to freelance writing. His first book, The Black Sheep (Presidio Press), was published in 1998. An established historian with seven popular books now to his credit, Bruce has been featured in documentaries produced by the History Channel, Fox News Channel, PBS, the Pritzker Military Library, and the World War II Foundation. Cancer-free for more than 35 years, he lives in the countryside near Madison, Georgia.

In 2023 Bruce created Skywarrior Media, a digital studio dedicated to accurate, authentic historical videos. brucegamble.com/skywarrior-media.
Bruce will discuss some of the fascinating men who were the mainstays of Marine Fighting Squadron 214 in World War II. Pappy Boyington was the most renowned member, but there were many others who contributed to the squadron’s success—and its mystique—during 5 intense combat tours in the Pacific.
