I second "Terror in the Starboard Seat." Very funny, very frank look at WWII Mossie ops.


My favorite and the start of my fascination with night fighters - "Night Fighter" by C.F. Rawnsley and Robert Wright.

Rawnsley was John Cunningham's radar operator (RO) during their faltering experiments in Blenheims, the business-like transition to the Beaufighter and the professionalism of the Mosquito. Quite funny as well.

"The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes. Very interesting technical/political/human interest weaving of the project.


For fiction, try "Once An Eagle" by Anton Myrer.
