Rasimus 'When Thunder Rolled'
Agree, most excellent. That one deals with him being a new guy F-105 driver. His recent "Palace Cobra" relates his subsequent Vietnam tour flying F-4s.

From WWII: "Pursuit Through Darkened Skies," by Michael Allen DFC**. R/O in a night fighter crew, very good.

"Queen of the Midnight Skies," by G. Pape and Ronald Harrison. Probably the best overview of the US night fighter program including, obviously, the development and deployment of the P-61 'Black Widow.' But it also goes heavily into the US' use of the Beaufighter (4 squadrons) and the Mosquito (1 squadron) as night fighters.

"The Two o'clock War" by Walter Boyne. It's about the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
