Mr Viking,
I hate to sound like a bore, but I highly suggest reading your Hawk flight manual an extra one or two times a week, along with your Air to Air and Air to Ground tactics manuals, with model jets-on-sticks in hand. There really is no substitute for preparation. Forget history for now, or your aviation career will soon be a part of it.
But if you really want to read something else before you get your head down at night, I recommend anything unconnected to the military or aviation, just to help get your mind off things in order to get a sound night's (or lunchtime's) sleep.
Cheers, RG
