Getting back into AH has gotten me motivated to do some more reading. What are some books you suggest?
Hmmmm.
"The Mighty Eighth," by Roger Freeman, is essential. It's an expensive book to buy, but your library probably has a copy. Even the photo captions have (often chilling) information, above and beyond that in the text. Required reading.
As someone mentioned, Robert Johnson's "Thunderbolt," Sakai's "Samurai" never get old. I would add Johnnie Johnson's "Wing Leader" to this genre.
Two novels: Len Deighton's "Bomber," and my very favorite book of all time, "Twelve O'Clock High," by Beirne Lay, Jr. and Sy Bartlett. I have read it at least once a year since I was in junior high school. Long out of print, your library is your friend.
Beware of anything that Martin Caiden wrote by himself (which is most of what he wrote).
