Fall Out Roman Catholics and Jews
For something a little different, try "Fall out Roman Catholics and Jews" by Anthony Haig-Thomas. His auto-biography about his career as a Venom and Hunter pilot in the late 1950s shows how much things have changed during the last 50 years (although the constant hunt for female company during his pilot training is probably still current but perhaps easier these days). The chapters on his tour with 8 Sqn in Aden are particularly amusing and include the story of his 2 ship low-level transit sortie in a Hunter at M.9 during a detachment to Rhodesia which included a beat-up of a city, shattered windows in a girls school, and a bill to the RAF from a railway company for flat spotted wheels on a steam train caused by its emergency stop as they flew at low level down the track! (Some lost seniority here). His descriptions of the accidents that led to the deaths of many of his friends - particularly in Aden - perfectly contrast his fun of flying and the risks that were taken during those times.
