From time to time, Shane has been known to pitch magazine articles to turn impractical knowledge into practical cash. Be sure to hunt through the pile of disused Cosmopolitans, dog-eared Peoples, and soiled National Geographics the next time you find yourself at a doctor's office. You might get lucky and spot one of his learned dissertations on outmoded flight technology. Here are the articles best worth mentioning:
"Ace for the Ages"
After much research for a feature film project, Shane wrote an extensive recap of The Red Baron's career as a flying ace for Aviation History magazine. It was the cover article of the July 1995 issue, and has since been reprinted a couple of times, most notably in Legends of Flight, August 2003.
"The Dogs of War"
Intent on beating the subject to death and wringing every last dime out of all that research, Shane wrote another Red-Baron related article for Dog World magazine, this one about Manfred Von Richthofen's faithful great dane, Moritz.
"The Funeral of the Red Baron"
A third Baron article, this one about Richthofen's funeral, was accepted and slated to appear in the magazine, American Eulogy. It was cancelled when the magazine folded — probably due to a readership that was either too depressed or too dead to renew their subscriptions.
