DEVOTION (Adam Makos) Corsairs in Korea, and the struggle of a young non white pilot to get to operational status off carriers with an ending that is truly gripping and true.
Little slow to start but a good account of the conditions in theatre, and the then normal segregation system. Used as a base story for a couple of films with the usual change of machines and avoiding the non pc bits. A very good read and well researched. Apologies if already mentioned.
