None seem on first glance to be of direct aviation interest. However, Max Hastings (a regular!) is talking about his latest military history tome, on Op Pedestal, which had an air dimension:

Full line-up. Nothing specifically aeronautical that I spotted, but a few of the usual military history and more recent politics, in which some Forumites may be interested:

Which is a real shame seeing as one book published this year has a direct reference to Cheltenham and is of considerable interest to those with a penchant for things aeronautical. :wink:

Obviously the author (or literary agent or publisher) failed to schmooze the Festival organisers enough or on time in order to get a guest slot. Next year, maybe ? :wink:
