The 99.9% Aviation Bookstore


... Biographies Pg.1 ...





No collection of aviation titles could be considered complete without the inclusion of books by and about the pioneers who made it all possible. The people who made aviation their life's work came from all walks of life and left their marks in bold strokes on our history... their stories will be found here for your enjoyment.


I'd like to share a new title with you, one that is particularly pertinent given the Wright Centennial of flight. It's called THE WRIGHT WAY: 7 Problem-Solving Principles from the Wright Brothers That Can Make Your Business Soar, and while it focuses more on the aspects of HOW they achieved success rather than why and the history behind the achievement, I thought you would find it an interesting read. Please stop by this link for a brief excerpt and a further link to the source. Enjoy!
