Did you ever read "The Big Show" by RAF pilot Pierre Clostermann- day by day survival against the Luffwaffe in 1940-1941, when Fleiger Hauptmann Eric Hartmann was the nemesis of the RAF- and the Abbieville Boys ruled the skies over France and the English channel? Great read- as is my favorite poem "High Flight", written the year I was born 1941- by Canuck test pilot John Gillespie Magee Jr.
