Moondog’s Academy of the Air and Other Disasters by Peter Fusco. . It was like reading my own journey through aviation. Maybe some day I’ll make it. Amazon linky |

Second on Skunk Works by Ben Rich. Absolutely a great read and lets you in on some things I've never heard before that went on during the cold war. Also Baa Baa Black Sheep by Pappy Boyington. I actually have an autographed copy. Great book, a cool look into the Flying Tigers as well as the black sheep, and his life. They just don't make guys like that anymore, and that's a damn shame! |

10,000 Hours Reminiscences of a Helicopter Pilot is one of my favorites if you can still get it.
A Gift Of Wings is a great story of a time when you could still barnstorm across the country giving rides to pay for gas! |

| I think I’ve read most of the good aviation books out there, and these two are prolly my favorite: “My Secret War” by Richard Dury and “My Logbook” by Gunther Rall. Both out of print, but could be found used on Amazon last I checked. Sadly Gunther’s book was insane money last I heard. I got a used copy about 10 years ago for maybe $30, and upon recommending it to a friend during Covid… he told me “WTF it’s $500”. I honestly think both are up there with “Fate is the Hunter” |

I'll mail the hardcover book to anyone who wants it, free. Only string is you pass it along to someone else if you find someone else who wants to read it. Spoiler - don't click unless you want to know the basic story Spoiler |
