Good thread a few there to add to the reading list.
Also you might like to try some autobiographies.
Yeager ... Excellent read not just for the Mach 1 stuff, evading the Germans in occupied France, shooting down ME-109's and knocking a dead tree over with the wing tip of a airocobra as a favor for a mate.
The Winged S , Igor Sikorsky. a must for chopper pilots and fixed wing blokes alike.
Also try
The Grand Old Lady a collection of DC3 stories
and for fun try Garth Wallace's books
