Re: Older books-Opinions please!
Rawnsley and Wright's book "Night Fighter" is, IMHO , the best book written about the RAF's development of nigth fighter tactics and equipment. It's draws extensively on Rawnsley's RAF service in night fighting from the very earliest days of 1940 through to the end in '45 . Jimmy Rawnsley formed a formidable team with 'Catseyes' Cunninghams' as his radar operator. Some of his descriptions of intercepts over Britain in '41 are brilliant.
I also highly recommend Raymond Lallemants' Rendezvous with Fate. It covers his escape from Belgium and subsequent career in the RAF as a very successful pilot and finally as commander of the famed 609 Squadron. His combat descriptions are as good as any ever written.
