Best books on flying in WWII

[zoran]

Maybe this have been done before, but why not share a list of our top favourit books on WWII aviation.

Let me start out with mine - in no particular order:

Paul Richey: Fighter Pilot
John T. Godfrey: The look of Eagles
Patrick Bishop: Fighter Boys
Patrick Bishop: Bomber Boys
Kaplan: One last Look, The Few and Little Friends
(Lots of great pictures in all 3)
Peter Townsend: Duel of Eagles
Alfred Price: The Hardest day
(One day in Battle of Britain: August 18th)
Alan C Deere: Nine lives
Derek Wood & Derek Dempster: The Narrow Margin

:Hello.Are there any difference between this one and your Irvin jacket?I have to know about the weight.is it 4 kilos?
Derek Robinson: Piece of Cake.

Hope this thread can give inspiration to new readers - and old experts as well.

It's a nice ALC Irvin mate but I'd argue the point that it's not exactly one of the best books about WWII flying, you'd have trouble reading it, apart from the label!

Post it in the Outerwear section here and you'll have more luck.
