Actually, "Stick and Rudder" is not one of my favorites.

I hate to confess this, I really do, but I like reading the FAR/AIM.
There, I said it.

I also like Jeppesen's thick and lavish instructional books. I love them all.

I like pilot handbooks for airplanes.

I enjoyed "Flying South." And I like almost anything with a lot of
photography in it.

Do you have a favorite vintage year for the FAR/AIM or particular label,
such as ASA, Gliem, Jeppesen, or McGraw-Hill that you prefer sipping? Do
you prefer a bold red or light white cover?

I like the ASA one because of the two column format and the typeface.

Yes, one of my favorites. It was the first on my list, closely
followed by Flight of Passage and When Thunder Rolled.

I need two more.

(I should probably also have ruled out Flight to Arras and the other
Saint Ex books.)

I don't remember the author, but it is about the history of the
DC-3.

It contains lots of tidbits such as during the invasion of China
in WWII there was a busted up DC-2 and a busted up DC-3 which
was duct taped into what they called the DC-2 1/2 to get out of
Dodge before the Japanesse army arrived.
