Following his time in Japan, he would re-join the Air Force as an intelligence officer during the Korean War, working as an interrogator of North Korean prisoners of war. He explains the different techniques that he used and found successful throughout his time there. He also speaks about various airplane incidences that were nearly fatal. He would come back to the mainland and begin his career as a draftsman and then mechanical engineer for Denny's restaurants.
