David Rojohn

David G. Rojohn (Engr ’74) contributed to a book by his sister, The Piggyback Flight Pilot’s Journey, which is about their father’s landing of two B17s simultaneously after a mid-air collision over the North Sea in World War II. The book, which chronicles Glenn Rojohn’s journey as a pilot, life as POW and the aftermath, was the result of several years of work and research and comes out a year before the event’s 75th anniversary.

David Rojohn (Engr ’74) recently retired after providing more than 40 years of civil engineering, construction and maintenance services to Gulf Oil and Bettis Atomic Power Laboratories near Pittsburgh. Interested in future endeavors, he retains his Professional Engineer designation. He recently collaborated with his sister, his son and a friend on a published short story, “Journey of the Piggyback Flight Pilot,” which tells of his father’s heroic aviation efforts during the “Piggyback Flight” of World War II. Mr. Rojohn plans to continue writing and publishing with his wife, Sharon, while in the meantime polishing a rusty golf game.
