John Warner (Col ’86 CM)
John W. Warner (Col ’86 L/M) is a writer and “gentleman farmer” whose passion for history, vintage cars and the unsung heroes of WWII has inspired two large-scale creative ventures: a DVD documentary series on the early bootlegging days of NASCAR, The Golden Era of NASCAR , and a historical novel titled Little Anton.
Warner is the son of retired Senator John W. Warner III (R-VA), former Secretary of the Navy and Chairman of the Armed Services Committee (KBE), and Catherine Mellon, daughter of philanthropist Paul Mellon (U.S. Army, OSS, CIA, KBE). Growing up in a whacky military family that had a seat at many of the most historically significant tables––military, corporate, and intelligence––led to his insatiable quest to find and reveal the hidden truths behind world events.
A “gear head,” he has spent most of his adult life quenching his thirst for knowledge about race cars, first as a professional Grand Am, IMSA, and American LeMans Series racing driver (a plodding “middle of the pack man” behind the wheel of a Corvette GT1 and a Porsche GT3R, back in 1995-2001), and later researching the southern history of the sport for his NASCAR DVD series, “The Golden Era of Nascar,” and the “Wendell Scott Story,” (find them on Youtube).
He has now finished his first book, “Little Anton,” which is the first in a series.
An avid researcher of revisionist/alternative history, both ancient and recent, he began writing this book series during a two year-long recovery from a racing car accident. His extensive research for ”Little Anton” evolved into a gripping historical narrative that reveals hidden truths about technological advancements, top secret German non-linear physics, and the many prominent leaders active in the WWII era, including Adolf Hitler, Henrich Himmler, physicist Walter Gerlach, Ferdinand Porsche, and Winston Churchill. Part love story and part satire, the book centers on Hitler’s use of Porsche’s brilliant engineering mind to build the world’s fastest and most advanced machines, and the occultism of the SS to further new advanced weapons of the ”Wunderwaffe .”
He and his wife, Teba, split their time between our Washington D.C. area residence and their humble Virginia hay farm, where he is finishing the sequel to Little Anton, titled Lion,Tiger, Bear. They also host a biannual deer hunt and picnic for wounded veterans with the Virginia Wildlife Foundation.
