I'll second One11's recommendation - Flying Circus by Gann. Have just got a copy and get through a chapter a night - it's that sort of read. His writing style is elegant and the names of his heroes pour forth. Superbly evocative description of flying the 'range' in bad weather and using the tricks of the trade to approach to minimums (and a bit less!!) bracketing the As and Ns. Vivid evocation of the times.
