Dick Locher is the Chicago Tribune's Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist. An Air Force pilot from 1951 to 1953 and now a captain in the Air Force Reserve, he learned to fly in an old Mitchell B-25 bomber and later piloted B-47s, B-58s, and F-94s. Locher designed the world's first fly-powered airplane. He illustrates the world-famous comic strip Dick Tracy and he's drawn the box art for Mattel-Monogram model airplanes. Locher's paintings of airplanes hang in the Air Force Museum gallery in Colorado Springs.
