The only boys book I can remember reading was Dave Dawson at Singapore by Robert Sidney Brown, whose 118th birthday happens to be today. I would have read it, of course, not long after World War II had ended. (It was published the year after I was born.) I remember liking it a lot, but I never came upon any others.
