Now reading "Declarations of war" by Len Deighton, not finished but the first short stories are already very good. Short stories about war, but more declarations on war, though they all have to do with it.

After Roald Dahls "Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying" and then Len Deightons's "Fighter" and "Bomber" i thought Deighton's "Declaration.." and "Blood, tears and folly" were some worthy successors.

Also a lot of german war reports of the time, novels, historical stuff, like e.g. Galland's autobiography a.s.o..

I also remember having read one or the other of Deighton's and Dahl's stories in my teen years, back then from a public library. I must say the Internet is phantastic when it comes to finding and re-discovering those special older books
