The following is a very limited selection of the online and hardcopy reference
material that I reviewed before actively getting involved in aviation (with the
exception of the narrative books - I read those when I needed an injection of serious
motivation). There is no need for you to do the same but reading up on some
literature might serve to whet your appetite.
