What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I can remember reading a book that had a part about how the main character either met or read about a pilot who flew long range high missions for long times and would read the same book over and over.

I cant remember the book he read or the book it was in.

Please help

The book he read had king in the title i think

Are you thinking of H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald?

It's a memoir rather than fiction, but the bit you recall seems quite specific and this book has a section where the author describes having met a pilot who told her on long solo missions, he would read The Once and Future King by T.H. White.

Thats the one, thank you linda
