Wild Blue: Stories of Survival from Air and Space (Adrenaline)

The History of manned flight spans just under a century, but it includes some of the most glorious adventures in human experiences. Wild Blue draws upon first-hand accounts of life-and-death adventures. Many are told by the pilots themselves such as veterans of combat,crashes, space walks and other airborne epics. Once again anybody for a love of aviation will love this book!

I am a student pilot working on my private pilot's license and have been wrestling with my own fears and anxiety while flying solo. A friend got me this book for Christmas, and the stories have been so riveting and inspirational - now I can't wait to go flying again! What sets this book apart is the quality of the writing and the storytelling - each of the authors/writers in this compilation is skilled not only in flying but with the written word! Excellent, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!!

This book is awesome if you want to get a taste of everything that great aviation writing has to offer. There are stories from almost every top-notch book in aviation and you'll probably do like I did and buy every book represented in Wild Blue. The stories are hand picked from selected novels and they will all have you glued to the book, this is one of those books that you just can't bring yourself to put down. Check out my other reviews on the books represented in this one...

If you love stories of air or space, read this book. I don't have time to read every good book in the field, so the selected cream of the crop is much appreciated.

Each segment is culled from the best in aviation stories and leaves you wanting to read more of the original work. I started it on a flight from Chicago to Seattle and never put it down. I'm on my way to buy "Fate is the Hunter."
