"Terror in the Starboard Seat" - Dave McIntosh
Agreed. Excellent, humorous read!
Another good book that is easily attainable is 'Panzergrenadier' by Kurt Meyer. Stackpole puts it out. If you liked Panzer Leader try that one.I'll second Panzer Leader, a good read that is.
Also worth looking at:
'Fighter Pilot' by Paul Richey (Hurricane pilot with the BEF in France, 1940)
'Reich Intuders' by Martin Bowman is not a first hand account as such, but incorporates a large amount of first hand stuff into it's text. The book covers the operations of the RAF's light bombers throughout the war, on a vast range of types including Blenheims, Bostons, Mitchells, Hudsons, and of course Mossies. Very, very good read.
