Never in Anger
The life of Anthony "Bugs" Bendell who joined the RAF in 1953, just as the service was converting to jets,his career spanned 34 years.
He flew the Tiger Moth, Harvard, T33, Vampire, Hunter, Lightning, Republic F105 and the Phantom F4, then he was diagnosed with M.S. A superb read (the above pinched from the cover of the book which I am just reading for the second time)
Call Sign Revlon
The Life and Death of Navy Fighter Pilot Kara Hultgreen, the US Navy's first fully qualified female fleet fighter pilot. She died in 1994 when her F 14 Tomcat crashed into the Pacific whilst on approach to a carrier.
Again, a superb read, written by her mother and deals with how much Kara had to go through to reach her dream
