Foss co-authored or was the subject of three books including the wartime ''Joe Foss: Flying Marine'' (with Walter Simmons); ''Top Guns'' (with Matthew Brennan); and ''A Proud American'' by his wife, Donna Wild Foss. Foss also provided the foreword to ''Above and Beyond: the Aviation Medals of Honor'' by [[Barrett Tillman]], and was profiled in Tom Brokaw's 1998 book about World War II and its warriors, ''[[The Greatest Generation (book)|The Greatest Generation]]''. Brokaw characterized Foss: "He had a hero's swagger but a winning smile to go with his plain talk and movie-star looks. Joe Foss was larger than life, and his heroics in the skies over the Pacific were just the beginning of a journey that would take him to places far from that farm with no electricity and not much hope north of Sioux Falls."<ref>Brokaw 1998, p. 115.</ref>''Brave Eagle'', a 1955 postwar effort to film a story of Foss's life, starring his friend, [[John Wayne]], fell through in 1956 when Foss refused to allow the producers to add a fictitious love story.<ref name="Bauer p. 82">Bauer May 1990, p. 82.</ref> ''American Ace: The Joe Foss Story'' was an award-winning, hour-length television documentary, produced by the [[South Dakota Public Broadcasting]], first aired in fall 2006.<ref name="SDPB">[http://www.sdpb.org/JoeFoss/default.asp "American Ace: The Joe Foss Story."] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928112828/http://www.sdpb.org/JoeFoss/default.asp |date=2011-09-28 }} ''South Dakota Public Broadcasting'', 2011.
