[WWI] What's your favorite OT memoir?

[Tom Mason]

Matt,

Here are few you might be interested in:
Ace of the Iron Cross  - Ernst Udet
Flying Fury  -  McCudden
Wind in the Wires  -  Grinnell-Milne
Ace of Aces  -  Rene Fonk
No Parachute  -  Arthur Gould Lee (This book is letters Lee sent home while 
he was at the front & from his Diarys.)
The Balloon Buster  -  Noeman S. Hall. (This is about Frank Luke. Also 
Norman Hall flew single seaters in WW I)
Up & At'Em  -  Harold E. Hartney
War Birds: Diary of an unknown aviator
ONE BOOK I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO READ IS; Fighting Airman by Biddle 
(Biddle is so full of himself.  He mentions more than once, that if he ran 
things it would different. I never finished the book.)

T.O.M.

I enjoyed them all.
