The only other book I have by Lewis is a small volume titled
Farewell to Wings. This book contains Lewis' reminiscenses of what it was like to fly 25 different aircraft of the Great War period. I think the best way I can describe this book is to quote from the Foreward in Lewis' own words, that are much more eloquent than my own:
"Since, although 'sound in wind and limb', I have become, at 66, almost a museum piece myself, it seemed permissable -- soon it will be too late -- to fill in a corner of history by reminding myself and anyone who thumbs through these pages of the sparkling dawn of life in the air and the way those antiques, the aircraft of the First World War, behaved."
I enjoyed each account!
