In "Dustoff" (Michael Novosel) the part where he describes flying over the island from which he flew B29s in WW2 on his way to Vietnam is special.
Looking over my shoulder at the book case
Chickenhawk (hardback first edition none of your paperback rubbish!!!!)
Snake Pilot
Dustoff
Year of the Horse
The comments on the accuracy of Chickenhawk are reminiscent of the arguments surrounding "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer.
This book describes the activities of a Frenchman from Alsace conscripted into the German army in WW2. His story of life on the Russian front is remarkable and difficult to put down.
Anyone who was glued to Chickenhawk should read this one.
