What are you reading ?

Chill out 'n' talk about anything. Have a giggle, play a game or have a rant and try not to fall off the Soap Box. (NOTE Standard Forum Rules apply).

Just finished 'Out of the Blue' - the role of luck and chance in air warfare. Edited by Laddie Lucas. Published in 1985.
Full of anecdotes from WWI to Vietnam.
Absolutely wonderful read, often very moving. A 'keeper'.
Highly recommended for aviation buffs.
