If you were going to name a couple of the greatest writers about
military aviation, who would they be?

I'd include Richard Bach--I can still remember reading, "Stranger to the
Ground", about a sortie in an F-84F, back while I was in high school. And
no, I have *never* read his trademark, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"...

I want personal recollections, not history. I'd like names that large
numbers of people would recognize.

Antoine de St Exupery? (Can't stand him, personally, but he seems
beloved)

Ernest Gahn? (or was he a civilian writer only?)

Personally, I think of Don Lopez (Into the Teeth of the Tiger) but I'm
not sure how well known he is to the general public.

Thanks for your input!


all the best -- Dan Ford
