Customer Reviews
Fate is the Winner!
One of the very best books about flying ever written!
A superb book, even for those who are not familiar with the world of flight. And after 50 years, there has been nothing to compare, no next generation successor to Ernie Gann. A master story teller who does not need 'blood and guts' to tell a gripping story.
Amazing book
Gripping from the 1st chapter to the last, a must read for anyone interested in flying and pilots
Fate is the Hunter
By an aviator, for aviators. Gann paints word pictures - not quick fixes for modern day scoop and run lightweights. Maybe readers DO need to have piloted an aircraft to really appreciate - but you don’t need to have lived in Victorian London to appreciate Charles Dickens.
