F-4 Phantom - A Pilot’s Story - Robert PrestAgainst all odds, Louise Thaden, Florence Klingensmith, Amelia Earhart, Ruth Nichols, and Ruth Elder showed the world that women are just as capable of piloting an aircraft as any man. Their participation in the event expanded not only the aviation industry to include more women but also pushed the feminist movement further into what it is today. In the 1990s Russia went through great turmoil, and when visiting Moscow Richard and his party – which included, I note, photographer and ‘Old Timers’ editor Peter R March – were caught up in the bloody 1993 coupe that for a time displaced Boris Yeltsin. In time, new management took over at Sukhoi and prices were raised to an unsustainable level, and when the factory Richard had commissioned to build a Japanese Zero (really!) was raided by armed men, it became apparent quite how badly one’s fingers could be burned in Russia. Tom Crouch, a curator emeritus of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, helps you follow some of the greatest pilots and other people in aviation history.

Crouch takes you through every detail that has amounted to airplane technology becoming what it is today in his book Wings: A History of Aviation from Kites to the Space Age .

What We Like: O’Brien flawlessly writes about the exciting and sometimes heartbreaking experiences these women went through, particularly during the air races in which they took part. Many of their stories remain unknown outside of aviation, but their fearless spirit can be appreciated by all. The clue is in the title: Ron Lloyd came to fly the Spitfire only after a long operational career that started on the Gloucester Javelin, involved a fascinating stint flying the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger on a USAF exchange programme and by 1969 saw him instructing on the Folland Gnat. The producers of the Battle of Britain movie had acquired their ‘enemy’ aircraft from the Spanish, but it was the RAF that provided the bulk of the home contingent, in the form of gate guardian Spitfires restored to flying – or at least taxying – condition and the pilots to fly them. Among this happy number was Ron, who not only logged lots of hours flying for the director but took a large number of behind the scenes ‘stills’ that add greatly to the appeal and historical interest of Fast Jets to Spitfires. The 5 women that participated in this race did exceptionally well and Louis Thaden even ended up winning the Bendix trophy - becoming the first woman to ever do so. These women earned the respect of their male counterparts and their accomplishment is not only regarded as a victory for aviation but women everywhere around the globe. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge by Federal Aviation Administration/Aviation Supplies & Academics Their participation was met with ridicule and bigotry by male pilots and observers. The 5 female pilots were not taken seriously and were criticized for even taking part in the race. Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History is an incredible story about 5 women who proved the world wrong.Flying books are imbued with potent magic to follow the commands of their creator. Often, flying books protect studies, libraries, and other places of great knowledge in great swarms. Most flying books are simple automatons, however, some spellbooks are given magical sentience and the ability to defend itself. Former FLYING editor-in-chief Richard Collins approaches the seriousness of flying with the right attitude in this book. Navigating any difficult situation in the air is the hallmark of becoming a good pilot, so Collins helps you to prepare yourself as best you can by reviewing the stories and practical advice that Collins shares from a lifetime of flying. This is an amazing resource for pilots and flight enthusiasts that are legitimately interested in advancing their careers. However, it may not be the best read for flight enthusiasts, as this is still a textbook at the end of the day. If becoming a pilot is your goal in life, Fly the Wing is going to be a guide for your career like no other. Into the Abyss

Just not commercially! And the art is not mine. Borrowed! Flying Book Subtitled ‘the amazing story of the people who made possible Richard Noble’s extreme projects…’ Take Risk is actually a sparse (in terms of personal life story) autobiography that focusses on projects and pays tribute to, in particular, the engineers who turned the products of Noble’s restless drive and energy into not just working hardware, but brilliant technology.If you are looking for a pilot’s handbook that is more intuitive, reader-friendly, and palatable than your airline manual, Fly the Wing is going to be a must-read for so many flight enthusiasts and aspiring pilots. For nearly half a century, Fly the Wing has been an invaluable resource for so many pilots and aspiring aviators, as it contains in-depth knowledge on flying a commercial aircraft. The mere fact that Into the Abyss is based on a true story makes the book so much more engaging and relatable. Shaben writes Into the Abyss with raw emotion, as the story is personally connected to her life given that her father was on board the plane when it crashed. Night Flight is a novel based on the real-life experiences of author Antoine de Saint-Exupery. In the 1930s, the French pilot flew perilous mail routes across Africa and the South Atlantic. The book tells the story of aeroplane pilot Fabien, who makes mail flights between Chile, Patagonia and Paraguay to Argentina. Set in the early days of aviation when aircrafts didn’t come with jet engines, GPS or radar, the journeys were fraught with danger. In the novel, Fabien attempts a particularly terrifying trip during a heavy night-time thunderstorm in Argentina.
