normandy with the u s army serving in mechanized infantry and fighting his way to czechoslovakia three years later he became field stream s fishing editor known as a j to readers and simply al to his friends mcclane held the position from 1947 to 1975 he would go on to author 15 books including mcclane s standard fishing encyclopedia earn a place in the fishing hall of fame and teach millions of americans how to fish a casting innovator tackle expert and accomplished photographer mcclane counted dan bailey harry darbee ted trueblood and charles ritz among his fishing companions he spent a lifetime learning the sport and passing that knowledge along but there was another part of his life that fellow field stream writer and army veteran david e petzal wanted to understand in his essay appreciating veterans petzal recalled asking mcclane how he and his fellow soldiers felt about the war mcclane told him they knew they were making history and they knew that what they were doing had to be done if called upon they would do it again petzal ended his tribute with two words well done this veterans day we extend that gratitude to all who have served from the field stream archives
