About James A. Treadway Books
James Treadway, a Biddle plank owner and USS Biddle Association Vice President and Historian, witnessed Biddle's construction, commissioning and shakedown and was aboard Biddle during her first two combat deployments to the Gulf of Tonkin. RADM Tom Marfiak, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, past Biddle Engineering Officer and U.S. Naval Institute CEO and Publisher, commanded the USS Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier Battle Group and the AEGIS cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He writes from more than 40 years experience in the U.S. Navy. CAPT David L. Boslaugh spent most of his 30-year Navy career in research and development and project management assignments as a naval engineering duty officer. His five-year assignment in the Naval Tactical Data System Project Office uniquely qualifies him to explain the events that led to the development of Biddle's Naval Tactical Data System.
