Aviation books don’t have to be
reference works; they can also be
works of fiction. The best known
character of aviation fiction is
Biggles. Biggles creator, W.E.
Johns wrote over 100 Biggles
titles. Biggles of 266 is an
anthology of some of the earliest
Biggles short stories. Today it is
considered a collectors item and
no, you can’t have my copy.

Another series of books that appeared in the 1960’s was
the MacDonald Aviation Monograph series. I think there
were meant to be more titles published, but I have only
ever seen these four; the Meteor, Hurricane, Gladiator and
Sabre. After years of searching I finally acquired all four.
The hardest title to find is the Gladiator.
