I just read a book by Vern Haugland called The Eagle Squadrons: Yanks in the RAF, 1940-1942 and I'm starting on his followup, The Eagles' War: The Saga of the Eagle Squadron Pilots 1940-1945.

There are some great stories in here about US kids who joined the RAF before the US entered the war. The second books seems to skip much of the training and back story on the characters, so I think that it might be a little more action-packed.

The Big Show by Pierre Closterman - superbly written book about the air offensive after the BoB! I cannot reccomend this book highly enough.
Just ordered it. Thanks for the tip! Looks really intresting.

A book i really enjoyed when i was young was A piece of cake

They also made it into a miniserie. Allthough not 100% historically correct it's a great watch. (it is however some 20 years old. So don't expect much in the way of special effects.)
