Recommended Books List

[Sketch]

I didn't see a place where the community has a list of recommended books on becoming a better virtual pilot. This is that list. So, if you enjoy reading about IL-2 and virtual flying in general, then this thread is for you. If you don't see your book here, go ahead and recommend it! I'll update the list periodically as I see fit.
