Any aircrew memoirs from the Algerian Civil War, French Indochina, or African Wars of Liberation?

Just finished reading a few land warfare memoirs from these conflicts and thought to ask if any aircrew books are available.

Best known is Jan Zumbach's On Wings of War: My Life as a Pilot Adventurer. London: Corgi, 1977, on the Congo and Biafra. Its accuracy has been called into question.

Thank you. I just realized I have that title in a pile of pbks purchased at a garage sale.

I just saw how much it sells for on Amazon!
