I can second (third) that recommendation. The book is hard to find for a decent price though.
Have a look at 'Sky Talk' from Philip Hogge, volume 2 is also available:

Phillip did a talk at the Brooklands Museum last week about his career and his stories. They're all short stories based on true events but fictionalised.
Another enjoyable book is 'Flight from the Croft' by Bill Innes (
