Another Up vote for the Dog Stars, I was actually telling the guy I was flying my last trip with about it. Stumbled across a cheap paperback at Oshkosh; Termite Hill by Tom Wilson. It may be hard to find but it turned out to be an excellent read, historical fiction centered around F-105’s in Southeast Asia. I liked it so much I read the second book in the series Lucky’s Bridge which my library tracked down, and plan to read the third and finish out the series.
Some other really good ones that come to mind are Danger’s Hour about the Kamikazes that hit USS Bunker Hill, does a good job explaining both sides. Also someone else mentioned it, A Higher Call about the German pilot that let a crippled B-17 fly on was real good too. The same author wrote Devotion which gave a great overview of Korea while focusing on the Corsair pilots, and I picked up his newest book Spearhead at Costco but haven’t gotten to it yet but look forward to.
