Hole in the Sky - Dale Adams In 1949, two 22-year-olds rented a Luscombe (little airplane) and journeyed 1000 miles into old Mexico just to visit. They nearly didn't make it back. Folks called them "crazy nuts". This true story holds more adventure than most fiction, and that's just part one. In part two, they're saying "crazy nuts" all over again. Stuffed with maps and photos, and substantiated by a logbook, journal, and diary, the story is told by one of the "crazy nuts" himself. Number of pages: 276 Price: $4.95 Details

To Fly - Tom Kirkland Learning to fly is the adventure of a lifetime. This book details the human side of flight training as the author chronicles his cockpit experiences, including the checkride that made him a private pilot. Laugh and cry along with the author as the emotional ups and downs meet or exceed the physical ups and downs of the airplane. Enough technology to hold the interest of pilots, and plenty of human insight to hold the attention of non-pilots. Number of pages: 203 Price: $4.95 Details
