Wayne Mitchell

// Editor-in-Chief

Wayne’s fascination with military history began at age twelve, standing in the shadow of a decommissioned F-4 Phantom at an air show. That spark ignited a lifelong pursuit of understanding the machines, tactics, and warriors that shape the modern battlefield.

With over a decade of research and writing under his belt, Wayne founded Cool Military Stuff in 2018 to bridge the gap between dry technical manuals and sensationalized media coverage. His approach combines meticulous research with accessible storytelling, delivering content that respects both the subject matter and the reader’s intelligence.

When he’s not cataloging weapons systems or analyzing historical engagements, Wayne can be found at military museums, defense expos, or buried in declassified after-action reports.
