"Going Downtown" by Col Jack Broughton - Col Broughton's account of his USAF career encompassing Korea, leading the Thunderbirds, over 100 missions over North Vietnam in F-105s, and culminating in his court martial over the Turkestan incident.

Brig Gen Ken Bell's "100 Missions North" covers some of the same Vietnam / F-105 territory as "Going Downtown".

Rear Admiral Paul Gillcrist's books "Vulture's Row" and "Feet Wet" are both good reads too - from flying Grumman Panthers through flight test, F-8s, F-4s and Top Gun. Good sh1t.

Good luck with your search.
