Race of Aces: WWII's Elite Airmen and the Epic Battle to Become the Master of the Sky

If someone turned Race of Aces into a good movie or a mini-series I would be so happy. I'm biased because I love anything with airplanes and the P-38 is one of the coolest looking planes ever made. IMO this story is great though because of how it subverts (not sure that's the right term) the "glamorous flying ace" trope. You have guys living in squalor in a backwater theater suffering from PTSD and engaging in foolish, self-destructive behavior while chasing glory.
