yeah man, Wellum's description of his first flight in a Tiger Moth was SO much like mine, awesome read!
If I can suggest other titles:
"Thunderbolt!" by Bob Johnson
http://www.acepilots.com/usaaf_rsj.html
"My Logbook" by Gunther Rall
http://www.aviationautographs.com/detail.aspx?ID=1142 (got the signed one before Rall passed away: the price went shockingly high after)
"The blonde knight of Germany" by Erich Hartmann (got a first edition signed of this too!)
"Sigh for a Merlin" by Alex Henshaw
"The big show" by Pierre Clostermann
this is just a tiny, essential set of incredible reads, there are many more but these are really unmissable.
