Despite our differences, you may still give me an isight to what it may be all about...

sorry mate, I haven't managed to read it
I can recommend you First Light by Geoffrey Wellum though, as an aviator yourself you might find his description of his first solo with a Tiggie the best written rendition of the experience
Uh and since he was mentioned before, Stephilner's book Spitfire On My Tail is quite a read, if anything a different one, that shows what it was like on the other side.
If you find it hard to read extremely academic books though, I would still recommend to read Bungay's one, if anything it flows better than Holland's.
