Best Aviation Books

Just looking for general inspiration, it can be technical, personal accounts or similar from any aspect of the industry.

Books I have read so far;

Flying the Big Jets - Stanley Johnson

Be a better pilot - Alan Bramson

I learned about that from flying - written by Brian Lecomber and co featuring numerous pilot stories.

Mechanics of Flight - A C Kermode

Good for developing the depth of your knowledge, took me a while to get through…

Fate is the hunter - Ernest K Gann.

Would recommend this one to any new starting pilot to answer your questions such as ‘had a bad landing at the weekend, is my career over?’ ref page 31 - “the second landing has the men in the control tower reaching for their alarm buttons. In fact it is not a single landing but an endless series of angry collisions between the airplane and the earth” this is a chap who has 1000’s of hrs and getting checked for a DC2/3.
