My most recent books were Chuck Yeager's autobiography and Empire of the Summer Moon

If you really want some classic aviation, read "Wings over the Andies" its about flying ship captains back in the 30s(?)... One of my favorite as a young up and coming pilot. .

Currently reading:

The Forgotten Soldier (true story of a German enlisted man and his campaign in the East during WW2.

Chickenhawk (story of a warrant officer and his tours as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.

if anyone is looking for an aviation related book Fighter Pilot By Christina Eloise Olds

A good non-fiction book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

Read Chickenhawk decades ago - great read!

Scoop

Theodore Rex by Edmond Morris.

Meticulously researched. Very good read if you are into history, the Presidency, and how we came about as a great nation igniting at the turn of the 20th century. Teddy had a lot to do with that. Read the book.

Just a few more....
Stranger to the Ground
Islands in the Stream
An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963
Force of Eagles
Ambush at Osirak
First Strike (IAF raid on Iraqi nuclear power plant)
in tandem with Raid on The Sun

I enjoyed Theodore Rex but liked The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt much more. It basically takes you up until McKinley was shot and he assumes the Presidency. That guy lived an unbelievable life!

Concur 100% with the impact that TR had on the US. I also enjoyed Dutch covering Reagan - another book by Morris.

Also check out Collapse or any of the Jared Diamond books if you are into history.

Scoop

Rise is excellent, more of a "book". I guess that is why it was the more popular in the series.

Morris is meticulous in his research. His footnotes/endnotes are a gold mine of information. Always well sourced.

"Always with Honor: The Memoirs of General Wrangel" - Pyotr Wrangel

---Amazing story of a Russian general who fought the Bolsheviks (and lost) after the Czar abdicated. Unbelievable badass. Originally published 1928, recently re-released.

"Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing" - Peter Robison

----Not out until Nov 30, but I've pre-ordered it. Written by a Bloomberg reporter who extensively covered Boeing during/after the merger with McDonnell Douglas. Very much looking forward to this one.
