Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club by Rene Francillon. Huge grey war canoes and real naval aircraft - a heady mix as they say.

The Last Valley is also excellent - but just how many of the Foreign Legion had previously been in the Waffen SS?

The Korean War by Max Hastings is a good starter for 10. Am reading The Fighter Boys (for the second time) at the moment. It still makes my eyes water. I can't think why.

Wings on my Sleeve by Capt. Eric "Winkle" Brown CBE DFC AFC RN. IMHO one of the best flying books.
