Best Recommended Pilot Bio Book to Read?
@Bonza: Thanks for the DVD tip, I will add it to my wishlist and see if I can get it easily. The ABC shop online in Australia has it for $34.95 ( Hunters in the Sky - DVD - ABC Shop ) just in case others want to find it somewhere...
The Sled Driver title sounded good too, however, a quick amazon search revealed that it is definitely in the 'collectible' range as it starts at about US$290 for a second hand copy! At that price one must wonder if national secrets are being revealed?

I don't mind if they are RAF, RAAF, Luftwaffe, Soviet, French, USA, etc. I just want to get a deeper insight into their lives and lessons they learnt.
