Are there any decent books out there detailing the North African campaign, dealing with the air, naval and ground portions (although the air portion is of primary interest to yours truly)?

Thanks in advance.

Ospreys 'Aircraft of the Aces' series are good for pilot accounts, examples of plane skins etc. I have 'Me109 over north africa +med', also spitfire over north africa + med' Both are great if thats any help..

There is or used to be a whole series of books put out by Ballantine, I think it was, that covered just about every aspect of WW 2. Everything from assorted weapons(read aircraft, etc) to campaigns to specific battles and commanders. I'm not sure if they're still published though. I'll post the ISBN stuff when I get home.
