A New York Times and international bestselling author, Dan Hampton is one of the most decorated American fighter pilots since the Vietnam War. A former lieutenant colonel, he has been awarded a Purple Heart, four Distinguished Flying Crosses with Valor and eight Air Medals with Valor. Throughout his 20-year career he flew 151 combat missions in the Middle East during both Gulf Wars, and over 30 during the Russo-Ukrainian War. Colonel Hampton is a graduate of the elite USAF Fighter Weapons School, USN Top Gun School (TOGS), and USAF Special Operations School. Hampton has lived abroad extensively in Europe and the Middle East, and was an exchange officer with the Egyptian Air Force.

Since the New York Times Bestselling Viper Pilot, Hampton has published The Mercenary, Lords of the Sky, The Hunter Killers, The Flight, Chasing the Demon, and Vengeance through Harper Collins. His last work, Valor, released in May 2022 through St. Martin’s Press, New York, and his latest book, Vanishing Act, released in May 2024.

He has also been featured on the History Channel/A&E documentary "Finding Amelia," and the Travel Channel’s "The Alaska Triangle," as well as the BBC, CSPAN, and Breitling’s "Anthem." Colonel Hampton is a frequent guest discussing foreign affairs and geopolitics on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, the BBC, Newsmax, Sirius XM, IHeart Radio, and NPR. He has been a guest analyst for Bill O'Reilly, Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Neil Cavuto, The Cycle, and Anderson Cooper360.
