Anything by Ernest Gann. The chapter where the C54 captain is realising the enormity of his problem in “Island (or is it cabin?) in the sky” is the best aviation writing there is. Sends a shiver down your spine. @The high and the mighty” - superb read but both may need an understanding or knowledge of a bygone age of aviation. His “Twilight for the Gods” too about a sailing ships last passage is wonderful.
Eagles wings by Hajo Herman. No Moon Tonight, by Don Charlwood.
Going Downtown by Jack Broughton.
There’s a few for starters, looks like we’ve got 3 weeks to read them! Enjoy them everyone and stay safe.
