The couple wrote one more book the following year dealing with chemical terrorism and is currently working on a third.Lidia's other publishing projects in the technical areas include a book on indusrial safety and one on maintenance.

Winnie LoPinto was a WASP trainee in 1945 and had asked Lidia to publish this book after her death. It has been on demand for several years and lately been repackaged and optimized for Kindle, where we got 800 downloads the first two days it went free. Certainly it has moved up to number one under "women pilots".
