I read my BIL’s X-Wing book series during my “escapism-through-enthusiastically-reliving-my-childhood” stage of the buildup to the sequel film trilogy. It goes into considerable detail about such things.
FWIW my enthusiasm kinda evaporated post Episode 9 but I thought Michael A. Stackpole’s series was a fun YA read that added some depth to the dog-fight-in-space Star Wars world.
