The Bomber Boys by Travis L. Ayres

anybody know some good WW2 aircraft (bomber/fighter/attack...) books that fall more into the "historical fiction" genere? Couple of examples I've read in the past like this have been Rifles for Watie, Soldier X and Fallen Angels. Most of the time when I go to a book store I find a lot of biographies and history books, but very few novels.

As for novels, Piece of Cake (Battle of Britain mostly) by Derek Robinson is excellent. He did a few others too - A Good Clean Fight is about a P40 squadron in North Africa, and Goshawk Squadron about a WW1 squadron.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
