The aviation book that I have read, read and reread most often is (not surprisingly) "Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest K Gann.
Probably my most amusing aviation book is "Off The Beam" by Robert Chandler.
He was a Radio Operator who started in a workshop at Croydon in the 1930s and ended up on the Comet 1.
It is very refreshing to read a book written by a non-pilot. R/Os (like F/Es) had one thing in common with stagecoach drivers. They had to sit behind horses' arses like me!
