Default GREAT AVIATION READS

Ran across two great aviation books on http://www.amazon.com that may be of
interest. One is entitled THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE BLUE GOOSE. It`s about B-24
bomber that simply disappeared from Fort Myers Army Air Base, Florida in 1942.
In 1977, after the death of a former Luftwaffe pilot a bizarre Nazi plot is
uncovered and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Blue Goose is
finally solved.

The other is THE MANNERHEIM LINE. It`s about two pilots who meet while flying
for the Loyalists during the Spanish Civil War. After the Loyalists surrender
they fly freight for a company based in Gibraltar. In 1939, they offer their
services to the Finnish government and fly French built fighters during the
Russo-Finnish War. After the Finns surrender, both men return to Gibraltar
where they are imprisoned. President Roosevelt intervenes and the pilots are
released to fly for the British. It`s a great historical read that goes through
WWII, the Korean War and the Bay of Pigs
