Great Books by Our Community Authors
Below is a list originally assembled by David
Roberts of our community's literary pride and joy. Many from our group
have a story to tell, but only a few become published authors. Here is a
list of our brightest and best. Please support these efforts by ordering
for your library or sharing these great reads with others.
If you have been published and wish to be added or need your site
linked here please email mark@pilotcommunication.net:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is the NINTH VERSION
of a growing list of Delta Pilot Authors, Books About Delta Air Lines,
Inc., and Books by Delta Pilot's Family Members. Version #8 was dated
December 2, 2008. The newest books, those published in (2007 & later), have
the copyright date in bold red font. A Replies & Comment section with
additional information about the books and authors is an attachment below the
list. We need biographical information on the authors....please.
When they were hired, and for which airline originally, when they retired
if applicable, where they were based, web sites, email addresses for those I
don't have, et cetera.
This list is a work in
progress and your help is needed to add to these 45 published pilot authors and
6 family member authors. Please send me the names of other Delta Pilots, or
their family members, who have authored and published books along with the titles
of their books.
REVIEWS OF THESE BOOKS
ARE NEEDED. PLEASE SEND ME YOURS TO ADD TO THE REVIEW SECTION ATTACHED
BELOW.
Many of the members of
this email network are serious readers, and we like to know about Delta pilots
who have written books. And you should know of other Delta Pilot authors more
than anyone else.
Please send additions,
and please make suggestions to improve this list. I will update it
periodically.
Thanks, Dave
