The Dam Busters by Bruckhill and Enemy Coast Ahead by Guy Gibson are both excellent reads on the subject. Bruckhill's is more academic and comprehensive, whereas Gibson's is much more anecdotal.

Hey Eagler! Sadly no as I have no internet or gear to do so as I am truck driving across the country which is surprisingly very similar to flying in AH.

Written in American... LOL!

Knights Cross holder Hennecke Kardel’s books are a good read too.

"The Lucky Ones - Airmen of the Mighty Eighth" by Erik Dyreborg
Collected stories about bomber crews who were shot down or crash landed and how they survived.

"Fighter Pilot" by Robin Olds
Robin Olds started out as a P38 pilot in WW2 and finished his career as a top ace in an F4 in Vietnam. An amazing combat pilot autobiography. A real page turner!

I was going to suggest "Shattered Sword", but I see 3 or 4 have already done so.  Seriously, it is an amazing history book, one of the best I have seen on any subject.


For those of you who have read "Shattered Sword" - which, to date, I have not - you might enjoy this, from the Naval War College:

Levy devotes special attention to Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully’s book
Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway, a work whose scholarly
thoroughness he lauds yet one he simultaneously indicts for an obsession with
debunking myths about Midway and with demonstrating that its outcome was to
be found in Japanese practice and doctrine.
