I just finished 'Flyboys' by John Bradley ('Flags of Our Fathers'). It's about aviation in WWII, focused around the Chi Chi Jima flyers who were executed by the Japanese, with the exception of one who eventually became POTUS.

It was very interesting to be reading this book while all the Japanese disaster was being played out on tv.
