I quite enjoyed First Light by Geoffrey Wellum. Some good suggestions by others that I'd like to read as well. Wish there were audiobook versions of more of these books as I find very little free time these days to read. Great way to make use of the 2hrs I spend commuting to and from work every day. I purchased the audiobook version of First Light but it was abridged. Looking for more. any suggestions?

That's my favourite because it's a true story of a German ME-109 pilot

What about Fighter Boys, Saving Britain 1940 from Patrick Bishop?
IIRC it was a fine read. See here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-revi...owViewpoints=1 Last edited by touchdown42; 11-13-2009 at 11:50 AM. Reason: typo and link

Nine Lives by Alan Deere is another great read that covers the BoB and beyond.
First Light, by Geoffrey Wellum, as previously mentioned is a wonderful book. Also just out (Sept 09) is Battle of Britain: A Day-by-day Chronicle, 10 July - 31 October 1940 by Patrick Bishop.

i found "The first and the last" by Adolf Galland quite insightful and also Norman Franks book "sky tiger" about Adolph "sailor" malan was an interesting read.
Slightly off topic but thoroughly recommend "Samurai" by Saburo Sakai for anyone interested in Japanese WW2 naval aviation.
