The best compliment you can pay to a pilot is that they are a ‘pilot’s pilot’ — and Dan Hampton, who flew 151 COMBAT missions as an Apache Helicopter pilot, is certainly a pilot’s pilot. A real leader. And like all pilots Dan is an overachiever. When a pilot decides to do something they put their heart and soul into it — that is why when he decided to become an author he did it right. He is New York Times Bestselling Author!
I love pilots — and I loved talking to Dan about VALOR — a truly exceptional book. He captures the history of the fall of the Philippines to the Japanese and the story of an incredible American hero: Lieutenant William Frederick “Bill” Harris.
The son of a decorated Marine general, Bill Harris escaped from hell on earth by swimming eight hours through a shark-infested bay; but his harrowing ordeal had just begun.
Using a vast collection of source material including military documents, personal photos, and an unpublished memoir provided by Bill Harris’ daughter, Dan Hampton has created a remarkable story that reads like an action novel. But this is a true story — written by an American hero about an American hero.
About the Author

A graduate of the USAF Fighter Weapons School and USAF Special Operations School. A frequent guest on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC discussing foreign affairs and geopolitics, he has also appeared as an analyst on Bill O’Reilly, Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Anderson Cooper360.
A great recommendation from my favorite author: Nelson DeMille
“Valor reads like an action/adventure thriller, but this is a true story of extraordinary courage in the face of overwhelming odds. At a time when America is searching for real heroes, Dan Hampton has found the genuine article in Lieutenant Bill Harris. As a combat veteran myself, I salute the heroism and memory of Lieutenant Harris, and as a writer, I salute the writing skills of Dan Hampton. I could literally not put this book down.”
–Nelson DeMille, bestselling author of By the Rivers of Babylon, Plum Island and The Deserter
