I'm always amazed why there are so many bookstalls at the airshows. Clearly they are feeding the need of pprune readers !!. One I've not seen mentioned is "Mollison, The Flying Scotsman" by David Luff. Being fascinated by the pre-war record breakers it's a revealing insight into how the flights were financed and the adulation successful ones received.
BTW I've heard a version of Fredrick Forsyth's "The Shepherd" based around 3 P-47s returning to Duxford in WW2. Anybody else heard that?
