 | | The world of flying sometimes seems like a small town where everybody knows or is connected to everybody else-until you're in a library, staring at all the books that have been written about all the people and all the inventions of that world. |
 | | For military aircraft, Hagedorn and Nicklas recommend the Putnam Aviation Series books, in particular two by Gordon Swanborough and Peter M. Bowers: United States Navy Aircraft Since 1911 (Naval Institute Press, 1990) and United States Military Aircraft Since 1909 (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1989), which covers aircraft of the Army, Army Air Forces, and Air Force. |
 | | Much more than a military history, this book is a detailed description of daily life in wartime China, from the grinding diet of powdered eggs to the tragedy of a young flier being pinned in a burning airplane. |
