Captivating

I've read this book 5 times and will read it again and again. It's an account of the first trans-Pacific flights in piston powered aircraft to develop routes at a time when there was no electronic navigation. Celestial navigation was all these pilots had to go thousands of miles to their destination. The most incredible chapter deal with an in-flight oil change conducted outside the aircraft cabin while the engine was running.

As good as Fate is the Hunter.

One of the best aviation books I have read. Up there with Fate is the Hunter.
The author describes his life in flying fighters in WWI, pioneering Pacific air routes and flying the sublime Spitfire in such a way that he takes you on the flight with him.
A masterpiece.
