If you are into aviation or war history, you have to read "Yeager" - what a great story about a GREAT man & his incredible career. THEN watch this movie. RIP Mr. Yeager. Another really great book is about the life of Jimmy Doolittle. Doolittle was not only a genius, but he was truly one of the fathers of flight & aviation fuel development, as well as one of the pioneers of flight navigation. What an incredible man!
