| Whats the Best Aviation FICTIONAL books you've enjoyed?
I Daresay that most of us on this forum have a lot of Historical / Autobiographical books on world war 2 or indeed Aviation in general.
But is there any Aircraft Fiction (story) books that you have particularly enjoyed & why? 
To start off, I Particularly liked the books by Robert Jackson based on a fictional character called George Yeoman, & his adventures in the war. The Author researched the history of each period of the war very well.

| Has anybody once read a book of the Crimson Skies series? They have a pure fictional story and some of the aircraft designs are amazing.

Country: | The books on 633 Squadron are good, if a little implausible- in ne they land on a lake in Norway to sink a cruiser
