I am reading Fate is the hunter at the moment, which is an excellent
book,
the author seems to effortlessly draw the reader into not only the
cokpit,
but into how he feels and what he's going through, brilliant!
My dad promised me the book, knowing he was about to pass away soon (he
passed away nearly 2yrs ago), he did actually try to buy it for me when
he
was still around but it was out of print and circulation at the time,
and
because he couldnt find his own copy, but when we were doing the house
clearing we found it, i also found another of his "flying circus" which
i
intend to read after.
I was just wondering if anyone else out there can recommend any others
of
his books and where i can find it.

Besides Gann's FATE IS THE HUNTER, here's some more great reading
material that you might add to your aviation library:


snip: list of distinguished reads

ENEMY COAST AHEAD by Guy Gibson is well worth reading.


WHEN THUNDER ROLLED by Ed Rasimus

Cheeky.

Try Fighter Pilot by Paul Richey. His account of the Phoney War and the
Blitzkreig on France is truly frightening. Wonderful book, most of A Piece
of Cake by Derek Robinson is taken from this book. Richey threatened a law
suit when he read Cake.

I suspect his most famous book, which was made into a not-terrible
movie, was "The High and the Mighty." He was a prolific writer, though.

We bought some land on San Juan Island in the spring of 2001. Looking
at the plat maps for the island, I noticed several parcels near ours
marked "Gann". I'm told that Dodi still lives on the island.

"Stranger to the Ground" by Richard Bach. I gave each of my kids a
copy so they could see why I loved to fly fighters.
"The Big Circus" by Pierre Clostermann. A no-**** record of WW2.
"To fly and Fight" by Clarence Anderson. Ditto.
"No Guts No Glory" by Boots Blesse. Hard to find.
