"Warplanes of the Luftwaffe"-Combat aircraft of Hitler's Luftwaffe 1939-1945. Grange books, edited by David Donald

ISBN 1-84013-394-5

Is a list, plane by plane, of most of the aircraft used by the luftwaffe, with text and pictures, and detailed line drawing of the most famous ones.

I like it a lot

Ordered "Warplanes of the Luftwaffe" and a used copy (it's out of print) of Hans Ulrich Rudel's Stuka Pilot.  Should have some interesting material.

I got a real kick out of JG26: Top Guns of the Luftwaffe.

ISBN# 0-8041-1050-6

Squadron Signal Publications books are small, but packed with info. Most of the books have a center section with two pages of color shots for the plane in question. Nice part is, they're cheap; about $8-12 per copy.

Thanks RAM,
I'm enjoying "Warplanes of the Luftwaffe."

"Stuka Pilot" is a great book so far.  Really makes me wish we had a Stuka in here.

"War Diary of Hauptmann Helmut Lipfert"
JG52 on the Russian Front 1943-1945
by Helmut Lipfert/Werner Girbig.

First person accounts of the action, and it's on the russian front so it's pretty interesting to read.

"I flew for the Fuhrer" - Heinz Knocke, was good.

So was Erich Hartmann's book... although the last third of it deals with his imprisonment in Russia and the years following.
