1. Anzacs Over England The Australian Flying Corps in Gloucestershire 1918-1919...141 pgs

2. RCAF War Prize Flights, German and Japanese Warbird Survivors, 2006, 248 pgs "

This handbook concerns the collection of Air Technical Intelligence, and the test flying of war prizes carried out by two RCAF bomber pilots who were posted to the Royal Aircraft Establishment's Foreign Aircraft Flight, Farnborough, in the United Kingdom in May 1945. Their primary task was to visit former Luftwaffe airfields, and to find and fly back any aircraft they deemed worthy of evaluation.The list of aircraft found here does not include every German combat aircraft of the Second World War, as it focuses on those warbirds captured and flown by members of the RCAF, or sent to Canada as war prizes. Very few of these rare aircraft exist today, and therefore, information on known locations where German, Japanese and Italian warbird survivors may be found is included.As a member of the Canadian Aviation Preservation Association and the Canadian Aviation Artists Association, the author strongly supports the preservation of Canada's aviation heritage. The primary intent of this handbook is to provide information for aviation artists and enthusiasts looking for that unusual "never before painted" military aviation subject, and to support the efforts of those engaged in the search for those missing warbirds for which no examples currently exist."

3. Echoes of Eagles: A Son, a Father and America's First Fighter Pilots... 2003... 320 pgs
"The son of a WWI aviator and a freelance writer have produced an absorbing and readable biography of the senior author's father. A middle-class Bostonian, Charles H. Woolley entered the war as a volunteer ambulance driver, then transferred to the U.S. Air Service. There he went through the nerve-wracking training process, flew Nieuport 28s (which often shed wings) and Spad XIII's (which sometimes didn't fly at all) with the 95th and 49th Aero Squadrons. He ended the war as a major with two kills. He never got flying out of his blood, either, working with Amelia Earhart and serving in WWII, before his death in 1962. The narrative assembled from his diaries and by painstaking interviews and research by the younger Woolley brings out the triumphs and disasters, the tragedies, follies, primitive equipment and partying of that generation of pilots. It also paints vivid portraits of many of Woolley's comrades, including the gallant Quentin Roosevelt, the former president's youngest son who was killed in action, and the strait-laced Waldo Heinrichs, who became a POW. The account is all the more accessible because of the amount of background information given to orient the reader on WWI aviation in general (while avoiding extremes of gritty realism, romantic cliche or techno-babble overkill), making the book of value for this year's aviation centennial."
