For you chickenhawk fans - a new edition has just been released fully updated with some corrections, photographs and views from Robert Mason's friends who flew with him. It breaths new life into an old book and I really enjoyed reading it for the umteenth time.
If you ever wondered what happened to him when he got back, try reading chickenhawk- the return home. Great book and very moving takes him up to the point of writing the first book and the response from fellow vets and first team colleagues. I never saw this in the UK, but recently moved to the US and saw it in a second hand book sale. Some copies can be had on amazon for a good price
Another great book is Boyd - fighter general - great insight into the genius behind the f16 and manouevre warfar. Great story of maverick style fighter jock becoming the einstein of dynamic thinking and fighting
