Treadigraph and Shaggy Sheep Driver: you must have been looking over my shoulder at the most-thumbed books on my shelves! To your recommendations I'd add Cecil Lewis's 'Sagittarius Rising' (a Great War air fighting classic), Jack Parham's 'Flying for Fun' (see Private Flying Forum) and David Garnett's 'A Rabbit in the Air' (both capturing the spirit of pre-war light aviation), Harald Penrose's 'Adventure with Fate' and 'Winkle' Brown's 'Wings on my Sleeve' (test-flying memoirs), Bert Stiles's 'Serenade to the Big Bird' (a poignant account by a Flying Fortress crewman), and Col. Jack Broughton's 'Thud Ridge' (F-105 ops over Hanoi), and something by St. Exupery, of course. Fiction? Ernie Gann, Gavin Lyall, Brian Lecomber, John Templeton-Smith won't fail you. And don't overlook anthologies -- they can pave the way to further enjoyment.
