Darcaem Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 There was a thread recommending books about FA-18, but I can't find it on my phone :) Thanks to that thread I started to read Raven One and was completely hooked. I've finished the three books, then "Hornets over Kuwait" (awesome also) and I've just finished "High desert reflections" (during a flight trip :P). What else do you recommend? I loved Kevin Miller novels, but I enjoy specially the non-fiction part of the other two books. Thanks!!

dolfo Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot Lions of the Sky Fighter Pilot: Mis-Adventures beyond the sound barrier with an Australian Top Gun For non-F-18, Ed Rasimus, Dan Hampton and Stephen Coonts are good places to start.

Hog_No32 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot Lions of the Sky Fighter Pilot: Mis-Adventures beyond the sound barrier with an Australian Top Gun For non-F-18, Ed Rasimus, Dan Hampton and Stephen Coonts are good places to start. Yeah, finished „Lions of the Sky“ by Paco Chierici just yesterday. You‘ll love it if you loved the Raven One Series! Next is Stephen Coonts for me. I watched the movie „Flight of the Intruder“ when I was still a kid. I think that was the first time that I ever saw an aircraft carrier. Hooked up to naval aviation since :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsman422 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Robert Gandt if you want to stick with Hornets. Ward Carroll's "Punk's War" and its sequels is probably one of the best Tomcat book series ever written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcaem Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thank you all for your suggestions! I've noted all titles and authors to read next, and finally I started "Bogeys and bandits" :) Enviado desde mi 6055P mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvsgas Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Good aviation books - Bury us upside down:The Misty Pilots and the Secret Battle for the Ho Chi Minh Trail - Misty: First Person Stories of the F-100 Fast FACs in the Vietnam War - Fighter Pilot: The Memoirs of Legendary Ace Robin Olds - Flying Through Midnight: A Pilot's Dramatic Story of His Secret Missions Over Laos During the Vietnam War To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
