I'm now 50 pages into "Lost Voices of the Royal Air Force" collected by Max Arthur; I can unhesitatingly recommend it. A fascinating compilation of inputs from real people, covering the RAF throughout it's history, from the first time in Afghanistan to the Gulf War and after. The most evocative tome I've come across in a long while. If you've been following the thread featuring Cliff Nemo and Regle, this book will be right up your street.
