Anybody have any suggestions for reading material that has excerpts from real WWII pilots?

Hmm.
"Aces Talk"/"Those were the German fighter Aces 1939-1945"  by Constable/Toliver

"Duel in the sky" by Edward Simms
(think it's the English title, in german it's "Zweikampf am Himmel"


However, the whole biographies are usually much cooler.
Try "Dancing in the skies" by Tony Jonsson, or "Shot down in Flames" by Geoffrey Page, for a really good and human sided read.

Good luck!

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
