There have been many books written about Concorde. Here is an excellent one by Mike Riley, a Concorde training captain, who not only flew Concorde, but also a large number of other types as well. In his book A Concorde in my Toy Box this unashamed flying enthusiast describes his airline career with BEA and BOAC, as well as taking part in international aerobatice contests with the likes of Neil Williams. His descriptions of the challenges of flying Concorde and the handling qualities of the many aircraft he has flown, including the Antanov An-2, are both analytical and amusing.

His writing contains pearls of aeronautical wisdom that bear comparison with those to be found in John Farley's book, A View from the Hover.

You can find it here on Amazon:-
