Key Takeaways:

We turn to books to dive deeply into stories—and few compel me more than those shared by or about pilots, recalling their paths to the sky, and their flying adventures.

While not all of them were released in 2021, four books drew me in this year during my literary wanderings. The common theme? They each related a pilot’s journey that was vastly different from my own, with quests, accomplishments—and disappointments—that led me to understand the nature of perseverance a little bit better.
