Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gann's greatest
Review: I've been an admirer of Gann's for forty years. My considered opinion after reading all his work several times is that Fate is the Hunter is his best by far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Required reading!
Review: For those of us who fly professionally, and for those hope to one day do so, this book is a must-read!

Capt. Gann and those aviators of his time were fearless (or nuts!) by todays standards. We owe them a great deal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nostalgia and inspiration
Review: I read this book when i was in my teens, and years later, after my copy finally succumbed to old age and hundreds of turns of the page, I wanted to read it one more time. What a glorious, inspiring book, taking us back to a romantic time in flight; when flying by the seat of your pants really meant something, and when the glories of an America in transition were more clearly evident from the air than from anywhere else. The book is Gann's loving tribute to the brutes he flew, but it also is a hark-back to a time when automation had not yet dulled our senses, and when the coda of soaring above the clouds was humbled by the fate that is constantly our hunter. Beautifully written, its a must-read, whether or not you're into flying.
