Came across this on the Hyperscale site.  Any of you Luftwaffe gents have this one yet?  Looks like it might be a good resource

Very very good, and definately a source for Crumpp, - that is if he doesn't have it already...
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Ummm...
Milo, may I humbly ask you a favour....:)

Dig up what you can find about the 16th - 19th of April 1943.

Cap Bon, when the Germans were really on the run.
Been looking into this with Crumpp, but not satisfied yet ;)

No humblness neccesary Angus.

Crumpp has most likly scanned the pages from the book and sent them to you, no doubt. Not sure what I can add but will see what I can do.

Do you know of this site?

http://paul.rutgers.edu/~mcgrew/wwii/usaf/html/Apr.43.html

Very general though.

That your stuff?  It's some really nice work.  

I'ts probably not accurate to say I'm a model builder anymore.  It really died out for me when I found Airwarrior in 1996.  Since then I've done very little.  I was very active with it prior to this, and I still have about 200 kits collected over the years waiting to be built.

I keep vowing to get back to it, but with all the history research stuff and having started doing aircraft profiles on the comp now, I'm not sure when it will happen.  I never got close to the quality of the stuff on that site though. Wish I could have :)
