What are you reading this winter?

Tom Clancy's Command Authority.

Easily the last 20 years.   Era was a poor word choice.  That mothers in America are still producing sons that are willing to put it out there and in that community where the book itself, no matter the context or intent, is easily an act of communal betrayal.  That makes it worth even more.   Readers rarely appreciate that aspect of the writing.

"Black Hawk Down" would be ahead of it on my list, but your point is well taken.  

Interestingly enough I worked with one of the Rangers who secured the landing site for the helos to get him (Luttrel) out.  Never even suspected it until I showed him the book at the office and asked if he had read it.   And then to find out Luttrel lived about ten miles up the road.  Talk about ironic or coincidental or whatever...

I'd like to find some books on the forgotten air wars you dont hear much about.

Here are a couple that aren't about forgotten air wars, but they are from points of view not normally heard by Americans (some RAF, but lots of Aussie and New Zealand stories), and I think they're very good books:
Flak, by Michael Vietch
Fly, by Michael Vietch

Attack of the Airacobras, by Loza is a good one about Soviet use of P-39's.  Not very engagingly written, but good info within, putting an end to much misinformation about the P-39 in WWII.
