I tried Fate is the Hunter last year, on the recommendation of a pilot
colleague, but I couldn’t read it. There was too much old-style pilot thinking
in it, the sort of thing that led to accidents – such as the idea that you
could feel what an aircraft was doing.
I’m content that Gann was a successful pilot, but I wouldn’t have liked to be
on his crew.
I’m reading Lindbergh’s autobiography at present, but I’m not sure that I’ll
finish it, much though I’ve enjoyed the first part.
