He has previously been a flight instructor in both airplanes and helicopters and a corporate pilot for 18 years. He was a log homebuilder, a taxidermist, owned and operated a trucking company, and the list goes on.
Bill has written a couple of magazine articles prior to writing about his Vietnam tour in 67-68. After fifteen years of passionate writing, the author released his book, "MISSIONS OF FIRE AND MERCY~UNTIL DEATH DO US PART". This award-winning author has won the Silver Medal Award for memoirs in the 2011 Military Writer's Society of America Awards Program.
During his tour in Vietnam as a Huey helicopter crew chief/gunner, he was shot down more than once, wounded and had many close calls with death. Regardless, Peterson gives full credit to what he called "White Robe 6", his moniker for God. Deeply indebted to his higher power, Peterson writes that "White Robe 6 DOES answer when men call upon him. Not as a voice audible on radio circuits, but in the inmost recesses of the soul."
