If it's a memoir then you've had some good picks suggested; to them I would add Marretts "Cheating Death" (CSAR Escort Spad driver), "On Yankee Station" (F8s) and, if you're interested in RW try "The Last Battle", an excellent "Black Hawk Down" style account of the Mayguez (sp?) incident at the end of the Vietnam war. Also, IMHO, Hackworth's "Steel my Soldiers Hearts" is better than "We were Soldiers".

For a more scholarly approach, track down "Air Power in 3 Wars" by Momyer, "Strategy for Defeat" by U S Grant Sharp or The limits of Intervention by Clodfelter.

Happy reading!

PS-I bet the "Duke" is watching his "six" a lot in the shower at the moment...
