Any more suggestions?

Yea, "Catch 22", "No Second Place Winners" or "99 Confirmed Kills, the Carlos Hathcock Story".

'The Shepherd' by Frederick Forsyth. Actually a short story published in a small book, but perhaps my favorite piece of fiction.

'A Gift of Wings' by Richard Bach. A collection of Bach's Short Stories. 'Cat' (one of the stories) is another great piece of fiction.

'Endurance' by Alfred Lansing. Not aviation related, but an absolutely unbelievable non-fiction story about a Victorian-era British expedition to the South Pole that goes horribly wrong. Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men make any other endeavor of human endurance look like a walk in the park.

Ernest K Gann's Flying Circus.

I've read Hathcock's story; wow, I'd be embarissed to admit owning a 30 rnd mag.
