I agree that Fate is the Hunter should be on every aviator's bookshelf, along with such as Sagittarius Rising and Enemy Coast Ahead; however it is a relatively modern book (1961). These are pre-war and contain some magnificent pictures of the RAF's latest modern fighters, the Spit and Hurricane. In a section on commercial flight one picture is captioned " the pinnacle of an airline pilot's career" showing the crew boarding a HP42. I've also got Encyclopedia of Aviation and How to Become an Air Pilot, both from the thirties. Did you know that an airline pilot could earn between £ 300 and £ 500 per year? How the mighty live!!!
