In between the bouts of sweating and shivering courtesy of a dose of flu I've been reading Derek Robinson's book
Goshawk Squadron, shortlisted for the Booker Prize back in 1971. It certainly dispells a load of myths about chivalry in the skies in the First World War and is a very frank tale of young men whose life expectancy was days and weeks once they got to the front. Should have a review up in the next few days.
