More aviation related than space but lots of aviation buffs here as well:

Bill Lear Jr. is a good friend and as most know, quite the name in aviation. Son of the founder of Lear avionics and Lear Jets, he is a name in aviation in his own right. He wrote a biography that I am ALMOST finished with - and believe me, I laughed all the way through. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone.

He is offering it for sale for $28, and he will sign it anyway you desire - all the information is on the link below. This is a hardcover edition.

A must for all aviators & historians libraries. So much information on a great guy plus some great insight on the early aviation community (sorry Bill! <G> ). For example, I was not aware he flew in the 1947 and 1948 air races in Cleveland, in his OWN P-38 and, at age 17!!
