Dilip Sarkar MBE has written some good books: Battle of Britain, Spitfire, WW2...He also is a guide for some Battle of Britain tours.
Nice chap, I know him.
HIs Bio and books

Also the owner, Nigel Morter of the old Control Tower at RAF North Creake, near Wells, North Norfolk (which is now nice the most wonderful restored 1940's example of a Control Tower and B&B to stay at) has just penned a tribute book about the History of the Airfield, and the Airmen that flew from there, and their stories.
The new book is titled 'Control Tower Calling'

Nigel and his partner Claire who run the B&B are good pals of mine, and I have been staying there since they opened in 2014.
A short break at the B&B to immerse yourself in WW2 RAF Bomber Command History and 1940's Nostalgia is well worth it - and take a few good books with you!
Last weekend the Times featured an article about the Control Tower B&B.
