For Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell and his friend and co-pilot Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, being accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots is a dream come true. But a tragedy, as well as personal demons, will threaten Pete's dreams of becoming an ace pilot. -
A new category titled Aircraft has been added to the Books section...thanks @FlyingVizsla
-
Give me to late today and I will create that extra Category for you. If the ISBN doesn't come up search Google Books for the title and get the ISBN from that as the code looks up the ISBN in Google Books to get the info to populate the fields.
-
I think I can say that this book got its beginnings right here on Recreational Flying (.com) -
I will migrate the few Aviation related books over from Social Australia for you. WOW, @FlyingVizsla you are going strong with all those books...what an extensive knowledge you have in them...thank you so much
-
-
Most of them are not aviation related

Yes, there is one on Social Australia, the Off Topic site

We haven't had a Book section before...can you explain?
-
Finally, @FlyingVizsla and everyone else, we now have an Aviation Book section for you to list and view many different books of all kinds related to aviation. It is up to you to populate this new section with all the different books that you may have...all you need to do is enter the ISBN number and if it is listed in Google Books all the information about the book will automatically complete all the fields for you...easy to add your books into the new Aviation Books section. Note, if the ISBN number doesn't automatically populate the fields when adding a book, simply look the book up in Google Books and get the ISBN number from there Please populate this new section for everyone to benefit from what you have and know...thanks

'Father of the Flying Corps' and 'Father of Australian Aviation' were two of the unofficial titles conferred on Oswald ("Toby") Watt when he died in tragic circumstances shortly after the end of the First World War. He had become the Australian Army's first qualified pilot in 1911, but spent the first 18 months of the war with the French Air ...... -
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith is one of Australia's most loved heroes. In an action-packed life, the indomitable 'Smithy' went from fighting as a soldier among the carnage of Gallipoli and the Western Front, to taking to the skies against the likes of the Red Baron - for which he won the Military Cross for gallantry - before becoming the greatest peacetime aviator of his generation. Along with Charles Ulm, he was the first man to conquer the Pacific by air, the first to fly across the Tasman Sea, the fastest man to fly from England to Australia, and the first pilot to circumnavigate the globe by crossing the equator. With typical flair, FitzSimons also tells the story of the several breakthroughs, some of which were discovered in Australia, which laid the foundation for the Wright brothers' success in 1903; the first flight across the Channel in 1908; Germany's Red Baron terrorising the Allies in 1917-18, before being shot down by an Australian; Ross and Keith Smith's breakthrough first flight from England to Australia in 1919; the formation of Qantas in 1921; Lindbergh's stunning vault between America and Europe in 1927; the Great Centenary Air Race, the loss of the Southern Cloud; the saga of Bert Hinkler and much, much, more . . . -
Using private letters, diaries and official records, historian Michael Molkentin reveals, for the first time in over 90 years, the remarkable story of the airmen and mechanics of the Australian Flying Corps. It is a tale of heroism and endurance; of a war fought thousands of feet above the trenches in aircraft of timber and fabric without radios, parachutes or oxygen. Fire in the Sky takes readers up into this chaotic tumult among the clouds and into the midst of a war from which only one in two Australian airmen emerged unscathed. -

On 15 January 2009, the world witnessed the 'Miracle on the Hudson' when Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and career. -
The Aviation Movie and TV Shows database has been added to the site as a great resource for users to look up and use. Each Movie/Show that is entered looks up the TMDb database and completes all the fields automatically for you. It contains the Stars, the Crew, any Trailers, Images and even lists other similar movies for you. If you click on a cast or crew member a popup window appears with the cast member's bio and other movies they have been in...this is a very powerful resource for everyone. Please, ADD all the Aviation related Movies and TV Shows yourself into the Movies database section for other users to know about and create interesting discussions on the Movie/TV Show for everyone to join in. Wondering what to watch this weekend? Check out the Movies/TV Shows database right here on Recreational Flying so you can go out and get the DVD...what a great resource for ALL members of Recreational Flying (.com) (Aviation Books Section is coming soon)

The story of the conception of a new British weapon for smashing the German dams in the Ruhr industrial complex and the execution of the raid by 617 Squadron 'The Dam Busters'. -
In 1940, the Royal Air Force fights a desperate battle against the might of the Luftwaffe for control of the skies over Britain, thus preventing the Nazi invasion of Britain. -
That would be interesting

Ok so with only 14 member votes and 3 family votes the fly out box of menu links is the preferred option. I will need to get @Ahmed Zayed to see if this can be developed with the current framework or not. basically it needs to have the sub menu items in a fly out box similar to that of the Account, Notifications and Messages box and then when on one of those sub menu items the same sub menu items are displayed in the sticky sub menu bar across the top. Just to be clear it will be a box that comes out from the main menu item (ignore the cosmetics as the image is from another site):

You will see in the new Videos Section that you can watch the full episodes of the television series Mayday: Air Crash Investigation. This series is of great benefit in terms of perhaps we can learn something that may help to keep us, and our passenger(s) safer in our flying activities. At this stage I am adding one episode, in their original release order, per day to the Videos Section. If you want them ALL added at once then let me know. I hope you find the episodes not only entertaining but also interesting and helpful.

Another one for me would be to fly completely around Australia hugging the coast all the way. Would have to do it on my own and anti-clockwise as no good for a pax just looking out to the ocean all the way
