Burma - Book advice please

Hi all,

I've just joined today, and have to say that I'm very impressed. My particular interest is the air war over Burma and SE Asia. I've managed to acquire quite a few books, but I've now got to the stage where I'm not sure what else is generally available or what I should have in my library. I'll post my current library (and I hope people don't think I'm being pretentious!). Any advice would be appreciated (BTW, I've not included books on aircraft types):
