A navigator-bombardier in the G-model B-52 Stratofortress heavy bomber and the FB-111A supersonic medium bomber, he rose to the rank of captain. He is the recipient of several military decorations and awards, including the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Combat Crew Award, and the Marksmanship ribbon.

Brown is a director and volunteer pilot for AirLifeLine, a non-profit national charitable medical transportation organization that flies needy persons to receive treatment. He is also a member of a number of organizations that support and promote reading and law enforcement.
Brown, his wife Diane, and son Hunter, live near the shores of Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He enjoys flying his own private jet, a Grumman Gulfstream II; on the ground, he enjoys tennis, skiing, scuba diving, and ice hockey.
Note on Books
Dale Brown tends to stay with the same characters over a long period of time. The characters introduced in "Flight of the Old Dog", even though a few are killed here and there, are still around for the latest. Most of his books occur in the same timeline, except for a few exceptions.
- Silver Tower, published after Flight of the Old Dog, a mostly independent novel with no character references, is only linked by mention of the SkyBolt module in Battle Born.
- Chain of Command, which features Rebecca Furness, was actually a separate series, but later, the characters re-appeared in Battle Born, and was merged into the Dreamland series.
- Hammerheads, which features Admiral Ian Hardcastle, was also a separate series, with MacLanahan and other Dreamland characters mainly doing cameos. Hardcastle later reappeared in Storming Heaven
- The Dreamland series co-authored with Jim DeFelice is about what happened to Dreamland later, with a brand new set of crew, and even MORE high-tech. None of the old characters appear except as back references.
