I have not read an Ernie Gann aviation book with which I have been
displeased.  Look for his works in the library in several areas:
fiction, applied science (aviation), and history (aviation).

Richard Bach's books are quite good.  Keep an eye open for his
books wherever you find Gann's.

I have forgotten the titles of two quite interesting books on
Alaskan bush pilots, but I found them in applied science.  Authors
were Helmricks for one and Shelton for the other.  Needless to
say, both authors are bush pilots.  I found these quite interesting
since these guys do remarkable things with ordinary planes such
as Cubs and 172's.

An interesting story of constructing, flying, and learning
acrobatics in a homebilt biplane is Norm Weis's book with
"Starduster" (name of his plane) in the title.

Sorry about the general lack of titles, but I don't think you
can go wrong with the authors.
