What are you reading at the moment?

The old chestnut thread!

I'm still reading Voice from the Stars - A Pathfinder's Story by Tom Scotland. Been busy and catching up on magazine reading!

Still working my way through the book I mentioned in this thread:
Who really rescued Mussolini?

And plenty on my reading-pile but want to start this one next:

Air Power at the Battlefront: Allied Close Air Support in Europe, 1943-45

I have just finished "Beyond the Frontline - The Untold Exploits of Britain's Most Daring Cold War Spy Mission". By Tony Geraghty

It is about the British mission to the former East Germany from 1945 until the wall came down

I'm just about to start reading 'The battle of Britain' by Richard Hough and Dennis Richards. Has some good day by day accounts. Anyone read this yet?
