Hand_Grenade_Pilot Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Looking for recommendations on aviation reading material. Could be anything aviation related (including non-helicopter). A novel, technical material, autobiography, etc. I'm currently re-reading Chickenhawk (Robert Mason) Some of the recent books I've read: + The Little Book of Autorotations (Shawn Coyle)+ Flight of Passage (Rinker Buck)+ Flight to Heaven (Capt. Dale Black)+ Fatal Traps for Helicopter Pilots (Greg Whyte)+ The Encyclopedia of the World's Combat Aircraft (Bill Gunston -Salamander Books) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikemv Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 How about these fact sheets from IHST? http://www.ihst.org/Default.aspx?tabid=3089&language=en-US http://www.ihst.org/Default.aspx?tabid=3056&language=en-US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroscout Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I thought there was a book thread already on the forum. I will take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 If you enjoy Chickenhawk, then Low Level Hell by Hugh Mills is a must-buy. He was a Scout pilot in Vietnam flying the OH-6 (MD-500) and has so many decorations it is absurd. Plus the book is extremely well written. I liked it more than Chickenhawk.

Hand_Grenade_Pilot Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks for the recommendations. Chickenhawk is one of my all time favorites; really looking forward to Low Level Hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormandan Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Nine lives of an alaska bush pilot. By ken eichner. Ken is the current owner of Temsco's grandpa. It's about him flying around alaska in his 47. Basically a book full of "there i was stories." Pretty fun to read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
