Just ordered Arise to Conquer by Ian Gleed, I Flew For The Furher by Heinz Knoke and First Light by Geoferry Wellum. Was looking for something more interesting to read than The Sun.
What a great site that is Mram, I ordered based upon your marking scheme so I will read and report back how I rated them also. For little knowledge of HTML you have done well.
And thanks to the link for Abe Books, what a great site!
Sterling.
Both Knokes and Wellums books are real good, haven’t read Gleeds.
I just finished Samurai! by Saburo Sakai, really good book as well.
Thx Sterling. I hope you enjoy the books and I´m interested in hearing your ratings. 
(Regarding the books marking scheme I have come to the conclusion that I´m a bit of a geek and seem to give most books high scores! :rolleyes: Therefore I am thinking of doing a new 10 graded scale. This will hopefully better show my opinion how different books are rated, in comparison to each other).
Well I have finished reading the first book that arrived - Knokes - and I totally agree with you about it being very good. This is the first book of this type that I have read so don’t have much to base my opinion on but I found it very interesting. If anything I would say that it gets a little boring reading all the daily accounts during the middle part of the book but since its only 192 pages long you soon get through it. Start to finish in under 6 hours
Puppet in a play comes to mind after I finished reading it. Though now I have read his book I am going to try find some more information about him, he was a brilliant pilot by most accounts.
Wellum’s book arrived the same day, I’m going to start reading that now.
Sterling.
S!
I thought that Geoffrey Wellum’s book was outstanding.
Recently, I got a copy of Pierre Closterman’s book: anyone tried that? It’s also very good indeed. Both Wellum and Closterman give a good idea of just how scary it must have been to be a fighter pilot.

I wonder if Mitsuo Fuchida ever wrote about his wartime exploits? You will of course recall that he led the Pearl Harbour raid.
