July 1, 20187 yr Another good author - Brian Lecomber. His two books that I have, 'Talk Down' (Where our hero has to talk down a passenger in an Arrow over the UK) and 'Dead Weight' (A Carribean adventure) are brilliant. Down To A Sunless Sea' by David Graham is also one of my favourites - told by a 747 pilot in a 'Last 747 flight' searching for a landing strip after a nuclear war. A brilliant tale. 'Jetsteam' by Austin Ferguson, although a little dated by now, is a good read. I think that one was the source for the 'Airport' films. That good, original, now very dated, 'Flight into Danger' by John Castle & Arthur Hailey is also a good read. '90 Minutes At Entebbe' by William Stevenson, is a good read, although the aviation content is minimal, most of the action takes place on the ground. This was the story of Operation 'Thunderbolt', the Israeli rescue of hostages. Most of these books have been made into films.

July 1, 20187 yr There should be at least one book about flying helicopters here, so I'd nominate "Rescue Pilot: Cheating the Sea" by Jerry Grayson. It's a good read; an autobiography by a Royal Navy pilot who participated in the rescue operations during the 1979 Fastnet Yacht Race disaster, and later worked in aerial filming for movies.
