Start with the "Classics".....
"Fate Is The Hunter" by Ernest Gann along with other books. I submit that in order to be an Aviator one must know Gann!
Richard Bach with his "Stranger To The Ground" and several other Books
Saint-Exupéry...... "Wind,Sand, and Stars" and other offerings
Francis Chichester....."Solo To Sydney", "Ride On The Wind", "Alone Over The Tasman Sea"
There are many different lists of such writers and books one can draw from.
