I have read Spitfires, Thunderbolts and Warm Beer. It's an

The Oregon dept of Aviation published 100 Quotes on the Wonder of
Flight to commemorate 100 years of powered flight. It's a neat little
book. A friend got me a copy at a black tie dinner in Washington, DC.

Reach for the sky the story of the legless WWll British flying ace
