Chatman, a graduate of the USAF Academy and the University of Cincinnati, a former USAF Special Operations and Rescue Helicopter Pilot, a former senior scientist for the US government, and a retired Engineering Fellow with Raytheon System Company, has completed his new book “Last Man Out”: an electrifying historical narration about citizens, soldiers, spies, and lawmen uniting to save a town and its coal mine from a saboteur during World War II.
Chatman writes, “The last weekend of May 1944, a saboteur is finalizing his plans to destroy the town of Scarlet Tanager, Kentucky, and its coal industry for the sake of his reputation, the fatherland, and the Fuhrer.
