Although it has taken some years to build, I now have what I consider to be a fairly extensive aviation library. I'm remodeling my library/computer room, so most of the books are now temporarily packed away. I've noticed that a lot of aviation books are written by British or Australian writers. I have quite a few selections written by Bill Gunston, Stewart Wilson, Brian Trubshaw (God rest his soul), and Macarthur Job. Is it just me, or does it seem that the lion's share of aviation books are written by British & Australian writers? Bill Gunston's "Giants of the Sky" is one of my absolute favorites. His aero engine books are good, too. Not too much techno-speak for the layman to understand.
