Couldn't think of a better title.

 

But I am looking for books with flying as a part or whole.

 

Just read Peter Heller - The Dog Stars.

 

Not looking for anything educational, which most of my searches led me to.

 

Look forward to seeing what you reply with.

The Aviators by W.E.B. Griffin. It is a good read for fiction. B)

Check out Randy Mains books http://www.randymains.com/enter/. He is a great author, speaker, and all around great guy. I chatted with him in Vegas last year, the guy has some good stories. He talked to me and my wife for quite awhile, as if we had been friends for years.

Absolutely, Randy Mains. He gave me a signed copy of "Journey to the Golden Hour" about his search for a job and his adventures after returning from Vietnam. Excellent book. I don't get to read as much for fun as I would like, and my bookshelf is more filled with educational books, but I also read Chickenhawk a few years ago and liked it a lot.

To the limit: an Air Cav Huey pilot in Vietnam,

by Tom A. Johnson, 2006

ISBN 978-1-59797-001

 

Very entertaining, moving (as in, heart wrenching), and a tad educational in a good way. Enjoy!

Just finished "Sweating the Metal" about chooks in Afghanistan. Top read.

Also notice Amazon has a sale today, if you have a kindle, "Dead Men Flying" is a good, cheap read.

If it's flying in general, or flying related Catch 22 is another book written by a Heller. Joseph that is, and his book has earned wide critical acclaim.

"Fate Is The Hunter" Ernest K. Gann and any of his other books.
