True tales written by or about pilots... these were the people who inspired me to become a pilot.

A bush pilot who flew into remote locations and fly-fished.
Portraits of contemporary women pilots. Great photos and text. Touching biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, with excellent photos.
The adventures of an Alaska Bush Pilot. True tales of adventure, travel and fishing. (The best things in life!) Exploring the Canadian wilderness by bush plane.
From Navy combat to flying Alaska's northern wilderness. A writer and bush pilot in Africa, Hemingway was one of her biggest fans. Well written memoir of an aerobatic pilot. Two thumbs up!
The fascinating story of aviation pioneer Grant McConachie of Canadian Pacific airlines. This pilot's memoir of flying in the early days will stay with you long after you've put the book down. The late Barbara Rowell's memoir of her 25,000 mile solo flight through Latin America. Spectacular photos.
