'Phantom over Vietnam' by John Trotti. A Marine F4 pilot, Trotti's book is similar in style to Prest's, except with the added edge of combat ops. Includes his description of trying to hit a ground target on a bomb run with his eyes shut after getting blase about AAA coming past his canopy every day for the last six months. The best book I have read on the subject of flying fast-jets in combat.
'A Lonely Kind of War' by Marshall Harrison, is a fixed-wing version of 'Chickenhawk', and comprises the Vietnam war diaries of an OV10 Bronco pilot. Spent all of his time wazzing around 'on the deck' doing armed FAC sorties, as well as being rocketed nearly every night in his bed whilst deployed in the field. An excellent read.
I would also second the recommendation of Stephen Coonts' two 'Intruder' novels. Fiction they may be, but having been written by an A6 pilot who was actually 'there' they are as gripping and realistic to read as any collection of real flying war stories. You're in an A6 cockpit on a carrier at night in crap weather hooked onto the catapult. Cat fires, pressed back in the seat, shooting along the deck, both engine fire warning captions come on... Brilliant.
