Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying by Roald Dahl (unabridged audiobook)

Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying by Roald Dahl (unabridged audiobook)The stories are: Death of an Old Man, An African story, A Piece of Cake, Madame Rosette, Katina, Yesterday was Beautiful, They Shall not Grow, Beware of the Dog, Only This, and Someone Like You.
These ten stories by the greatest of story tellers were all written in the 40's, and out of the experiences that the man himself had. This is definitely NOT Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, but rather tales of the unexpected with WW2 aircraft and pilots. Roald was a pilot himself, and here the voice of painful experience comes through.

The Right StuffThe Right Stuff

The Right Stuff is a 1979 book by Tom Wolfe about the pilots engaged in U.S. postwar experiments with experimental rocket-powered, high-speed aircraft as well as documenting the stories of the first Project Mercury astronauts selected for the NASA space program. The Right Stuff is based on extensive research by Wolfe, who interviewed test pilots, the astronauts and their wives, among others. The story contrasts the "Mercury Seven" and their families with test pilots such as Chuck Yeager, who was considered by many contemporaries as the best of them all, but who was never selected as an astronaut.
