John Geoghegan is an author, journalist, historian, storyteller, archivist, and exhaustive researcher. His books and articles cover broad territory, from Japanese underwater aircraft carriers (Operation Storm) to giant American dirigibles in WWII (When Giants Ruled the Sky) to innovations and inventions that, while often extraordinary, never made it to market.

Another interesting fact about John is that he’s deaf. His book, Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, tells the story of a man who, like many of us, depended on his hearing to earn a living, overcame the obstacle and continues to be an exceptional writer, researcher, and of course, family man.
