There is a new one out that is interesting. Marine One by James Huston. About a lawyer who has experience as a Marine Helicopter pilot trying a tort case involving the crash of Marine One.

Landfall

Pastoral

Both by Nevil Shute as well as his autobiography "Sliderule" are also nice reads.

I think "Fate is the Hunter" and "Stranger to the Ground" should be required reading for all student pilots - helicopter or fixed wing.

Hammerheads
"Hammerheads" by Dale Brown. First published in 1990 about drug counter diction and featuring the V22 Osprey, long before that aircraft ever flew.

A superb author about aviation, and one who often predicted world events. Sadly later became much too Sci Fi & lost it.

Just ordered myself a copy of "Professional Helicopter Pilot Studies - JAA" the new colour version, it was highly recommended by a friend in the industry.
