Richard Bach wrote a fabulous (auto bio)short story about a flight in an ailing fighter in filthy weather over cold war Germany and the subsequent recovery. Brilliant Bach at his best but be beggared if I can remember the name of the story. (Night Flight?)I've failed to find it on BoL or Amazon. Ideas please?
My best aviation novel is another of the wonderful Mr Bach's. Jonathan Livingstone seagull. The best description of the thrill and mindset of military aviation training ever written Simply awesome!
