Adding these awesome titles to my list. I'll add in for you guys:
"Fly, Fight, Win" Bud Anderson's memoirs, from childhood, early flying, Mustangs in WWII flying Yeager's wing, and through the post war and his test flying. I finished it in 2 days.

My favorite book, have read it several times, and the best air combat book, IMHO, in the world.
"A Lonely Kind Of War; Forward Air Controller over Vietnam" by Marshall Harrison. Has you laughing one page and crying the next, ala the TV Show MASH. Paperback is easy, hardback is a true treasure to find one.
https://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Kind-W.../dp/0891416382
Best book I read recently (last 10 years)
The Dequello, by Scott Zastro. A mostly non-fiction account of the first SOF team inserted into Afghanistan after 9/11. Very thinly veiled as "fiction" to get around the non-disclosure stuff as Mr. Zastro is still serving in the Army Reserves. He was a Green Beret medic at the time an still is in the medicine field. Could not put it down, read it in 3 days.
Excellent discussion of CAS, bombers and helos.
