[on his novel "The Gypsy Moths"--later filmed as The Gypsy Moths (1969)--about a traveling band of professional parachute jumpers] I was a stunt parachute jumper, and I believe that all writers should have something like this in their past so they may have a strong sense of performing for an audience.
