Currently about 2/3rds of the way through Norman Friedman's Naval Anti-Aircraft Guns and Gunnery. It's a pretty solid tome, richly detailed, well illustrated, and surprisingly readable. But egads, is the editing terrible. I keep on having to back up and re-read passages every few pages because of typos and garbled sentence structures. I'm still learning a lot from it, but I wish Dr. Friedman's last few books were more carefully written and edited.
I'm currently awaiting my copy of Murray Barber's new V2: The A4 Rocket from Peenemunde to Redstone. I've always been more interested in the V2 in the context of the development of rocketry, than as a weapon, so this book should hopefully fit the bill.
