I actually enjoyed The War in the Air; Vol. 1

http://www.manybooks.net/titles/rale...2628226-8.html

Unfortunately, the author seems to have died before completing any further volumes.

As to fiction, what I've found fascinating is some of the young adult fiction written during WW1. For instance

http://www.manybooks.net/titles/emer...3420834-8.html

While obviously not particularly graphic, it did have a couple of harrowing descriptions that I found surprising.

Also stuff like this, the "Air Service Boys"

http://www.manybooks.net/search.php?search=Air+Service

(There are a couple others like that).

Again, probably not the most realistic, but at the same time, authentic, because it's from the war itself, not written years afterward.

One of the posters here has kindly converted some pulps to e-book format. These are overly dramatic, but often written by people who were in WW1
