Aviation Autobiographies
Introduction
Work on this project began as early as 24 October 2018, when a list of the same name was created on Amazon. This page is based in large part on the aerospace section of the list of autobiographies Wikipedia page. Said section was entirely self-created, so its inclusion on this website is appropriate. A large number of the bush flying entries were taken from a thread on the Backcountry Pilot forum.
However, the content of this page may differ from the aforementioned article, as inclusion criteria (i.e. notability requirements) are not in place here. Furthermore, the decision was made to focus solely on individuals involved in atmospheric flight, and not spaceflight.
Only a single book is listed for each individual. The years listed are the date of publication of the first edition, as further revisions without additional input from the author are more likely to introduce errors or factual inaccuracies. However, if a work with significantly different content is published later it will be included instead, as it is expected that it will be more comprehensive due to covering a large span of the author's life. The chief method of distinguishing between a new work and a revision, new edition, or translation of an earlier copy is that a significantly different title is used. If the work was originally published in a non-English language, the English language title is listed first, followed by the foreign language title in parentheses.
No distinction is made between autobiographies and memoirs.
Confirmation of publication dates is mainly performed through searches of the WorldCat database. However, in a few cases confirmation was made by consulting images of pages on sales listings on online auctions or book selling websites.
In the event a book was written with a coauthor or published posthumously, it is noted in a footnote as these factors can affect the directness and therefore the authenticity of the account. In addition, if a book is based on either letters or a diary, this is also noted as these characteristics often place the work in a certain subcategory autobiography written by the children of the subject.
