Had to get it by interlibrary loan - FATE IS THE HUNTER.  It made for a good 

read as yesterday was an in house snow & ice day.  I am looking forward to 

reading more of his books.

Fate is the Hunter is widely regarded as probably the finest aviation book 

ever written...

Another great book for the icy Indy days is:

Inside the Sky: A Meditation on Flight by William Langewiesche.  It is a great insight into Mother Natures wrath and flying in her vengeance.



Amazon has it for $5.00--well worth it.  I have probably read it 5 times.

Hi All,



        Another great one is "Hammers of the Gods" by Martin Caidin, about 

the transition days from props to jets by the airlines.  Documents the 

deadly mistakes brought on by ego, ignorance and chutzpah.  Caidin has 

written many books on warbirds, had restored a Junkers JU-52 3-engine 

transport which is the one (IIRC) which appears in "Battle of Britain" circa 

1968.  Quite a character, looked like a Hell's Angel.

Hey list, just a trifle, and probably not even  worth mentioning --

but I hate to see anyone mis-spelling a man's name, and repeatedly too.

It's ERNEST Gann,  (and ERNEST Hemingway too), not EARNEST -- No "A"

Both very good writers, and they deserve to have their names spelled  

right.

That's the least we can do.

LB/Gang:



Glad that problem got taken care of.  I feel much better now, even though I 

just got home from the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Dentistry 

where I was used a dental dummy for students all afternoon long.



Does anyone know where I could get a Ernest Kellogg Gann sticker to put on 

my Kolb?  I have some new holes that needed covering.



Nothing to look forward to at hauck's holler but freezing temps.  Looking 

for 18F Thursday morning.   That would freeze up my Chilli Vest.



I have a new DRE6000 head set that I have not had the chance to fly with.  I 

have worn them around the house beating on stuff to see how they work on the 

ground.  May have to pull out the thermal underwear and hit the sky tomorrow 

if it is not too windy.

Sorry Russ,



My fault. I mentioned Gann and couldn`t remember his initials. Someone among 

the dozens who were quick to help me out must have made an error.

I should have looked it up in the first place



Cheers
