A Good Read
Two of the best aviation books I ever read were
"To War in a Stingbag" by Charles Lamb (available on Amazon); this guy had a amazing war starting with his carrier being sunk at the start of the war ranging to the attack on Toranto, Malta a period in a Vichy POW camp and ending in the Pacific. I read it twice and it is ALL true!
The other great aviation book is the classic "Thud Ridge" by Col Jack Broughton - F105 ops over North Vietnam. The flying sections are all taken from radio calls recorded during the operations. A brilliant book and well worth hunting down.
Of the other books mentioned above I have a copy of "Chickenhawk" and it is excellent.
