For those who enjoyed Jack Broughton's "Thud Ridge", his sequel "Going Downtown" is a good read, though not as visceral as the original.

Try Rosario Rausa's "Gold Wings, Blue Sea" about Skyraider missions in Vietnam;

and a wonderful WW2 book I found recently, Hajo Herrmann's "Eagle's Wings" sees war from the Luftwaffe pilot's perspective, quite the best aviation book I've read for a long time.
