To add to the impressive list below, please note the forthcoming (spring
'07) book, BLACK AND WHITE AIRMEN: THEIR TRUE HISTORY by John Fleischman -- author of PHINEAS GAGE: A GRUESOME BUT STORY ABOUT BRAIN SCIENCE.
TWO AIRMEN is about WWII, military aviation, and racism within the armed forces -- and because of segregation, the book begins and ends as a story about a friendship that almost wasn't. Ages 9 and up.

Here is the list of books I've accumulated so far for World War II. I'm working on the Civil War, Vietnam, and other wars/conflicts but those lists aren't completed yet (but they also aren't nearly as long as this one). I've listed a tentative age based on the reviews I've read of the books, but with the topic of war it is difficult to be exact. Many picture books were listed for age 5, but I don't believe the topic and presentation are really intended for children that young. I also listed Horn Book's rating as a quick guide, but some books with a 1 rating were criticized by another reviewer, and vice versa, so you can't base a decision of using the book on the rating alone. Finally, I entered just a couple of notes when I saw books that I thought would work well together. For example, The Shadow Children would work well with the nonfiction book The Hidden Children and the allegory picture book Terrible Things (a good activity would be to have students write their own allegory).
(I have also attached this as a word file, but I'm not sure if it will work through the listserv.)
