As for fiction, might be my favorite book EVER. A must read if you haven't is James Salter's The Hunters. It follows an F-86 pilot's tour in Korea. It's by a good novelist who write fiction primarily, and is beautifully written. Salter himself was an F-86 pilot in Korea, scoring one MiG-15 kill, and much of the main character is certainly autobiographical. So if you haven't read this, do so. Now. Go. It's a short, easy read.
Agree with this, a great book. Incidentally, James Salter was a pen name, real name (Captain) James Horowitz and his book The Hunters was also made into a 1958 movie of the same name which starred Robert Mitchum, the movie is pretty decent too.
If I remember rightly, Horowitz flew an F-86 which he named named 'Slow Boat to China'.
