Recommended Aviation Books

[jomni 6]

Hi. I'm currently having an ebook craze. Any good aviation fiction / history books to recommend (Cold War or Modern era)?

Grab 'Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed The Art of War" (or something to that effect)

[Derk 265]

I've said it before in these forums: "F4 Phantom, a Pilots Story" by Robert Prest, second hand easily obtainable.

A great look at the RAF in the '70 's and the European NATO scene as well as the the UK Phantom's .

Don't know if it's available as an e book, but ABE books, Amazon and E Bay have plenty available....

It's really worth having, being written by an operational pilot.

For reviews just Google it up + some extra assesments on the book and the British F4 on http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-326506.html

Hou doe,

Ive read Scream of Eagles. Its a great book describing what pilots in USA had to go trough in the beginning of the vietnam war before the Top Gun school was created.

I own and have read both. Good reads!

 

You'll also want to read 'Black Aces High' by the same author.
