    Any good (or half decent) novels that focus on dogfighting? I've been a huge fan of the ace combat game series, and the stories they tell and was wondering if there were any novels similar...

    There is a small, completely translated LN on BakaTsuki that has that. It was pretty good, and did not have the cliche stuff everyone hates in JP. I read it long ago though, so cant remember the name:blobcry:. I'll see if I can find it.

    Edit: Nvm. @Asf found it lol. Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku was the one.

    Thanks everyone so far, those are some good suggestions I'll dig in to, especially while at work.

    Also since it fit's are there any similar to Yukikaze? I remember seeing the anime and really enjoyed that, along with The Sky Crawlers, but could not find any novel versions...
