Dick Bach has written great aviation books. His best (IMHO) was 'Stranger to the Ground' - a true story from his time as an ANG F-84 pilot. Equally brilliant, and far funnier, is RJ 'Chick' Childerhose's 'Wild Blue', which I can't recommend too highly. Some of the stories were published in a book (same author) simply called F-86 Sabre, which may still be available!
