Bill Tompkins was embedded in the world of secrecy as a teenager, when the navy took his personal ship models out of a Hollywood department store because they showed the classified locations of the radars and gun emplacements. He was present at the “Battle of LA”, when 1,430 rounds were fired at UFOs, and one of the Nordic craft selected him to be their rep in the evolving aerospace race. This book is a partial autobiography about his life to about 1970 including some of his early work for TRW.

The first volume of Selected by Extraterrestrials took the life of Bill Tompkins up to 1970 and did not go deeply into the super-secret briefings he attended by Navy spies reporting on what was going on in Nazi Germany from 1942-1945. In this second volume of his ground-breaking memoirs, we learn those details and more about his subsequent aerospace career at companies that included TRW. Here is a record of words that Bill Tompkins wrote about his life until his death in 2017.
