Len Deighton has written a book of short stories about WW, they are very readable, in one you really don't know which side he is talking about until the very end, the pilot is telling his ground crew he 'got one', they ask, 'Did he burn or did he jump?', (before the date of parachutes), until the very end you assume it is a British flight and then they talk of the muttering sounds and smell of hot oil of the BMW/Mercedes engine cooling down, and a few other pointers, really brings home the fact that both sides suffered causalities. Just wish I could remember the name of the book, it was so good it didn't get returned!

9780099856504) available from people like
