Danny Buoy

"Danny Buoy" is the pen name of an Omaha soldier who served in Vietnam. He notes that he was "born, reared and educated in Omaha." When he graduated from college without a draft deferment in 1966, he enlisted and was sent to Vietnam, where he became Flight Operations Specialist for a U.S. Army Chinook Helicopter Company. He says he wrote his novel Pachyderms to reveal aspects of the war that the American public never knew about.

We appreciate corrections and additions to our information about authors, but please read the following guidelines and caveats carefully.

The Nebraska Authors database is based on publicly available sources. Unless you are the author contacting us in person, it helps us if you cite the source or sources of your information. We cannot include unsourced information in the database.
We may be appreciative of information we choose not to include in the publicly available database.
To include an image on an author profile, please send jpg attachment to nebraskaauthors@lincoln.ne.gov. A photo-release agreement is required before the image will be published on this site.
Because of the way we are staffed, expect corrections or additions to take time, sometimes up to three months.
While we initially included some actual links to external URLs in the database, we will in the future no longer provide functioning links. We will instead record the presence of specific external materials in language that we hope will help intelligent users find it themselves. Web rot, in which actual materials remain online but undergo changes in their URLs, is too demanding in terms of staff time for us to hope to keep external links current.

Please copy, fill out the form below, and email it to heritage@lincoln.ne.gov to suggest a change.
