By air war do you mean fighters (Phantoms, etc.) or helicopters, and are you looking for an analysis of how air power was used or more anecdotal books (memoirs).

Clashes: Air Combat over North Vietnam, 1965-1972 by Marshall Michel.

On Yankee Station: The Naval Air War over Vietnam by John Nichols and Barrett Tillman

Berent. M	Rolling Thunder
Chinnery. P	Life on the Line
Dorr. R	Air War HANOI

Not really about the Air War, but about the War, I enjoyed and found intersting 365 Days by Dr R Glasser.
I have seen a few of the following on ebay in the US, but not worth it for me in the UK once you add the postage
Not books as such, a series i collected, NAM - The Vietnam Experience 1965 to 1975, still a few i am missing, had the following titles

Trotti. J	Number 18	Phantom over Vietnam
	Number 9	Air War and the South Abandoned

There was a series called The Illustrated History of The Vietnam War and that had the following titles,

Clifton Berry. F Air Cav Clifton Berry. F Strike Aircraft Guilmartin. J Helicopters Dorr. R Skyraiders Cooke. J Dust Off
