Customer Review:
It's become a bit of trivial fodder: In 1972, a plane carrying a Uraguayan rugby team and their friends crashed in the Andes.

Customer Review:
This is a great book! It's exactly what the title says it is -- a pilot's inside the cockpit explanation of flying the SR-71, in expansive detail.

4.Yeager: An AutobiographyYeager: An Autobiography
from Bantam
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
This is a pretty good autobiography. Not a five star in my opinion as a 5 star book review leads to a timeless classic that will be read over and over again. Chuck Yeager is an interesting character one that probably doesn't get his full dues since the age of NASA.

As the title suggests, this book may be useful to take to an airport or an airshow and identify the aircraft present at those locations.

8.LindberghLindbergh
from Berkley Trade
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
I've read parts of this book, and from what I can tell, it is similar to other biographies of deceased controversial figures in which the biographer works too closely with the family of the subject to be objective. In reality, there were three points to Lindbergh's life that everybody should know... more info
