I would definitely echo every ones praise of Gann’s “Fate is the Hunter”, a must read for anyone who has a passion for aviation.
Another good one is “The Spirit of St Louis”, by the man him self, Lindbergh. Much to my surprise, it was hard to put down. Who would have knew he was such a talented writer. However, his wife was also an award winning writer, so I would guess she may have helped him polish his writing scripts.
