A few of my favourites:
1. Spitfire A test Pilots story
2. Sigh For A Merlin
3. The Big Show
4. We Landed By Moonlight
5. The Flight of the Mew Gull
6. I Flew for MMA
7. Gatty Prince of Navigators
8. Forever Flying
9. The Long Way Home
10. The Dam Busters

I Flew For MMA, I found to be a very good read and also why we pilots need to be members of the AFAP. The conditions that the crews had to put up with in the early days of MMA were pretty basic particularly on overnights and not to mention the meatworks run out of Derby. At least the MMA pilots and AFAP got things heading in the right direction. In all honesty the MMA pilots did a fantastic job operating in that part of the country during the wet season, considering that most destinations only had a NDB, and in a lot of cases only basic aerodromes with no approach lighting etc. Keep flying Capt Reg!
