Oh let's see.... Pacific war books....
Unfortunately I don't see anything on the shelf right now about Okinawa but I have a few here. You already mentioned "Helmet For My Pillow" which I thought was great, Leckie actually writes really well and has a good command of language.
Memoirs: "Nanette" by Edwards Park - a favorite among the 80th here in the game, Park was a P-39 and P-47 pilot with the 41st Fighter Sqd. in New Guinea.
"The Grim Reapers: At Work in the Pacific Theater" by John P Henebry - Henebry was a B-25 pilot in the 3rd attack group and later CO.
"Samurai" by Saburo Sakai - A6M ace with the famed Tainan Air Group
"New Guinea Skies" - Wayne P Rothgeb - P-38 pilot with the 39th Fighter Squadron
Unit Histories:"Protect and Avenge" S.W. Ferguson & William K Pascalis - 49th Fighter Group
"Attack & Conquer" John Stanaway & Lawrence Hickey - 8th Fighter Group
"Possum, Clover, & Hades" John Stanaway - 475th Fighter Group
"Cobra in The Clouds" John Stanaway - 39th Fighter Squadron (this one is pretty small only about 40-50 pages, but good while it lasts).
"Warpath Across The Pacific" Lawrence J Hickey - 345th Bomb Group
Campaigns and general Pacific war hitory"Flying Buccaneers" Steve Birdsall - great survey history of the 5th Air Force, probably find it pretty cheap online.
"Fire in the Sky" Eric Bergerud - long and a bit dry at time it's still a great analysis of the air war in the south pacific
"Touched with Fire"Eric Bergerud - same in depth look at the ground war in New Guinea and The Solomons
"Guadalcanal" Richard B Frank - a good study of the battle for Guadalcanal, land, sea, and air.
"The First Team" - John B Lundtstrom - probably the definitive study of U.S. Naval Aviation from Pearl Harbor to Midway
"The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign: - companion to previous title, focus on Marine and U.S. aviation during Guadalcanal
"Clash of the Carrires" Barret Tillman - The Marianas Turkey Shoot
"Hellcat" Barret Tillman - good accounting of the F6F's service record during WW2.
"Corsair" Barret Tillman - The F4U in WW2 and Korea
"The Battle for Wau" Philip Bradley - Australian defense of a remote gold mine town in New Guinea during the early stages of WW2.
"Miracle at Midway" Prange, Goldstein, Dillon
"The Big E" Edward P Stafford - The Story of the USS Enterprise
"Carrier Clash" Eric Hammel - The invasion of Guadalcanal & the battle of the eastern Solomons, August 1942.
I think that's most of 'em.
