The Mighty Eight.

I haven't read many aviation books lately, but that one has stayed in my head for a bit.

Update: The book I read was not "The Mighty Eight," it was the "Eighth Air Force" by Donald Miller. Thanks Kovalski for the correction!

I've finished reading "Eighth Air Force" by Donald L.Miller. A must-read for all interested in air war in Europe.

I've got some if you are still interested?

The Big Show by Pierre Clostermann

Gunner's Moon by John Bushby

Thunderbolt by Robert Johnson

The Lucky B##tard Club by Eugene Fletcher

Bloody Skies by Melvin W. McGuire

I guess a lot of them are skewed towards bomber missions cause that's my favorite interests, but maybe you will find them useful? Worldcat (http://www.worldcat.org/) can probably find them in a library near you or for ILL.

See ya!
