Can recommend England is My Village by John Llewelyn Rhys, a collection of short stories about civil and RAF flying in the 1930s and early war period. Some of them could have been written by St Exupery himself. His two novels, The Flying Shadow and The World Owes Me a Living are also well worth seeking out. Tragically, he was killed in a crash while instructing on Wellingtons at RAF Harwell in August 1940. His name lives on in the annual John Llewelyn Rhys Prize for aspiring young writers. A great pity that few aviation book enthusiasts seem to have heard of him, let alone read any of his books.
