List of 1632 Characters (fictional) - Jesse Wood

Jesse Wood

Colonel James "Jesse" Wood was a retired United States Air Force tanker pilot and has been involved from the outset in the NUS/USE efforts to develop basic aircraft and build an air force. He is unpretentious and informal with a tendency to calmness when others would panic, perhaps necessary traits in the NUS air force's sole test pilot. He has a bent for organization and through the loss of his protégé, Hans Richter in the Battle of Wismar has developed a strong dislike for the opponents of the NUS and Gustavus Adolphus. During the winter of 1633-34 Wood organizes a "message sending" demonstration to bomb Paris, and let Cardinal Richelieu know just what the up-timers and Gustavus's administration (now reorganized as the United States of Europe) "thinks" of Richelieu's recent changes in French foreign policy which resulted in the League of Ostend and a French army besieging Gustav in Lübeck. Referred to by both allies and enemies as Der Adler (the Eagle).
