    Personally, I really like "Top Secret Flight" by Dale Cox - http://topsecretflight.com

    It's about a secret mission to Japan that took place right after the Pearl Harbor attacks. Really interesting, and I like how the author writes. He does a great job of mixing history with fiction.

    Letters Home by Earle Kirkbride is a good one for post World War II Japan living. It's written from his wife's letters about her time working in Japan as one of the first women to work on inventorying the assets of the Bank of Japan. http://lettershomethebook.com

    I'm a big fan of Fatal Incident by Jim Proebstle : www.fatalincident.com. It's a novel about the 1944 Alaska plane crash- the incident was a huge mystery is the war.
