Well,
I'm reading "Hornet's Sting" by D.Robinson. I've red his "Piece of Cake", "Goshawk Squadron" and "A Good Clean Fight" as well.
They are great books. My advice is: go and get them ("Piece of Cake" is probably the best) ASAP. Yes, its fiction, but sometimes WWI and WWII air combat fighting and feelings are better depicted there ... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) believe me.

"Piece of Cake" rocked for sure (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Been quite a while since I read it, will have to keep my eyes open for the others. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Read his "War Story" once. It was very nice. But I've never managed to locate those that u mention, Gatt.

"Pice of cake" was probably the only thing worth seeing on swedish TV the last fifteen years. I loved Moggys' comment upon hearing that his abandoned spit crashed in a village, killing a bunch of people;
"Well, they couldn't fly spitfires, could they?"
