Great reading! I've been lucky to get a signed copy.

That is one fine book SAW.
Next get yourself a copy of A.Galland's "Die Ersten und die Letzen" if you don't already have it  
Also Pierre Clostermans book (Finnish name translated..)"The Great Circus" is great.
I got one quite rare book (at least here  ) "The Divine wind" which is very sad book about Japanese kamikaze pilots written by two survived pilots and U.S officer.
