One of my favorite genres of HN submission is a list of books that make up the "canon" for a field or line of work.

I know we have a reasonable number of hobbyist and other pilots on here and put together a list of the finest books about flying. I've included more tactical/reference material as well as plenty of fiction and history that's recommended over and over.

I plan to update it over time and would welcome additions/corrections!
