The main book I opened this summer was my checkbook to pay for my main gear overhaul; something I think many warbird owners can identify with. And they say drugs are addicting!

These replies are very interesting and a lot more entertaining than I expected.

Sorry about your checkbook use, Bill. :cry:

any book with info relating to instruments, flight gear, memorabilia. i'm a firm believer in sparing no expense for 1st class reference material. my wife thinks i'm nuts, but my expensive books have paid major dividends in years past researching purchases, my authored magazine articles etc. you get what you pay for!!!
