Matt,
Everyone's pretty much covered the WWI 'Flying' books. BUt a couple of must 
read authors are Robert Graves and Dalt Trumbo.
Start with "Goodbye To All Of That" (Robert Graves) and "Johnny Got His Gun" 
(Dalt Trumbo).
The Graves book is an excellent trench memoir/biography but he's written a 
lot of material relating to the Great War, and the Trumbo is a deeply 
disturbing bit of anti-war fiction, which, imo, is a must read for those of 
us who like to 'play with war'. Sort of reminds you what war is really all 
about.
