This historical novel is NOT about aviation, but about the most advanced transportation system at the time....it WAS the aviation of their day...sea travel.
PIRATES OF BARBARY
Corsairs, Conquests, and Captivity in the Seventeenth-Century Mediterranean
By Adrian Tinniswood
I found out that many of the Barbary Corsairs were white and "christian", and many of the white and even English Barbary Corsairs preyed on British shipping! They even did shore raids into Italy, France, Spain, Ireland, and England.
I love this book!
I found it at Amazon...much cheaper as an E-book.
