Good aircraft books- what are you reading?

Have been reading a few books lately about the development of specific aircraft.
Am reading "The Tiger Moth story" by Alan Bramson.
Chimbu Chuckles might appreciate this comment from 1932 as detailed in the book, about the early impressions of the Tiger:
"The shaking and the juddering whilst ticking over, the dreadful aileron control, the effort required to put an inverted formation show at Hendon, the difficulty of operating in any sort of wind; no breaks and the tail skid tearing up great chunks of grass field!! Points for: NO trouble; very cheap to run and had a nice locker for instructor's suitcase when on weekends"

Any other good books out there? Suggestions?
