War Fiction’
What are some good non-fiction war action books?
I have already read and liked Warlord by Illario Pantano, Band of Brothers, One Shot One Kill by Carlos Hathcock, White Feather, The Road to Fallujah, and a few others. I don’t care what era, just not civil war. Please gimme some goodies! I like lots of shootin’ too! Thanks for your help!

World War I Aviation Fiction ITV series 1976 How about bringing back the mini series ‘WINGS’ from the 1970’s?

How about bringing back the mini series ‘WINGS’ from the 1970’s?
This was the story about a WW1 Pilot who joined the RFC/RAF as a Flying Sergeant and his exploits through the war. He was a farmer’s son if I recall and it was about him entering what was a very privileged background group of men and the trails of flying and surviving, in the early years of the war.
I am surprised this has never been shown again on TV. It has to rank as one of the best period drama’s ever made. I have never seen it on TV nor is it available via other sources.
Does anyone else recall this great series?
Please please can we see it again?!!
