All I can find is a trilogy by Walter J Boyne tracing the history of US aviation from start to close. The first is about the golden age of aviation, 1927 to 1937. it is based around two pilots, American Frank Bandfield and expatriate German Bruno Hafner, who compete against each other for prize money and industrial and military contracts.
The 3 books in the trilogy are:
Trophy for eagles
Eagles at War
Air Force Eagles.
Boyne also wrote "Into the Blue" and "Beyond the Blue".
