Hey Guys  :)
Xmas time is approaching and Mrs iTunes is looking for some hints from me, She knows I like to read so I'm looking for any good recommendations from WW2, Preferably German 109 or failing that, Just something considered a good read overall.
Thanks in advance fellas and a big <S> to you all.

I'd suggest you visit this link to Eagle Editions Publishing.  Some great Luftwaffe stuff.  The D9 books are supposed to be top of the list on 190 work.  I don't have those, but have both the JG300 histories which are fantastic.

The Luftwaffe reading list on the Schiffer publications site is large as well with some specific books on the different 109 variants.

And if you use either site for suggestions, go to www.abebooks.com and search there for the titles.  You might find them used or a bit less expensive then on the company sites.

Good luck with your wish list :)
