Ethell and Price--Air War: South Atlantic (or some such title)
An exceptionally good, narrative-like book.  I think it may be
out of print, but look for it.

For air combat aficionados I also recommend "One Day in a Long War"
(same authors).  It's about the single busiest air action day in the
Vietnam war--May 12, 1972?  The day that Cunningham got numbers 3, 4,
and 5 and got shot down and Ritchie got his first.  This is a new
book, just out.
