Does anyone have a favorite aviation book that they would recommend? I was thinking of getting "Bogeys and Bandits", but I saw a few others that seemed pretty good. Any suggestions?

"Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War' was fun and enlightning. It's not only a bio. of Col. Boyd but it also contains some elements that make it an modern and American "Art of War".

Richard Bach, "Stranger to the Ground". Same guy that wrote Jonathon Livingston Seagull, he was an Air Force Reserve (ANG?) F-84 pilot called up during the cold war. Written in the first person, he tells the tale of couriering a package across Europe at night through weather, but that's just the backdrop as throughout the mission (and the book) he reminisces about all sorts of flight related stories. I find that once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Great story! Very Happy
