Re: [RCSE] Good Books

[Ben Diss]

I have read "Spitfires, Thunderbolts and Warm Beer".  It's an 
interesting historical perspective on the Battle of Britain.  "Skunk 
Works" was more interesting.  Kelly Johnson worked a fair bit of magic 
and this book tells the story well.  If you liked those, you may enjoy 
"Bogeys and Bandits" by Robert Gandt.

I really liked "Fate is the Hunter" by Robert Gant. I found it to be a 
great read. Strangely enough, though I liked it a lot, two close 
friends of mine didn't like it. Your mileage may vary.

Also, I liked "Whistling Death" by Boone Guyton. Great illustration of 
the test pilot's difficulties. Also, a good read.

Another, which I haven't yet read but intend to: "Spitfires, 
Thunderbolts and Warm Beer" by Philip Caine.

Another, also intended by not yet read: "Skunk Works" by Leo Ben 
R./Janos Rich.
