This bio only covers a small portion of events. A book was attempted by George Hathaway called Mind Benders on Hutchison life. It’s maybe worth reading but poorly done. Another book by Nick Cook of Janes Defence Weekly called The Billion Dollar Secret I feel is better to read. In addition, Nick Cook had a documentary in 2001 for TLC TV. I find it a challenge to list everything, but at least it is the truth and without prejudice.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1746552/bio/
