Just a question on the Caldwell JG 26 book. I have a hardback which is apparently Vol. 1 and a softback that is complete but I find discrepancies. Are there two different books?
I have found most of the books by Dr. Alfred Price to be a good read.
The Hardest Day
Sky Battles
The Luftwaffe Data Book
Classic Warplanes: Messerschmitt Bf 109
Focke Wulf 190 At War
(This was an interesting book as it looked at some of the behind the scenes action, such as transfer flights, Allied performance tests, "Airthief" operation, Jabo tactics, etc.)

Lucky the D.H TA 152n book is the only thing out on the bird besides the OOP Monogram title on the bird. Monogram was due out earlier last year for a huge book on the TA 152 but where is it ?
get volume 2 of JG 300 translated by Falkeeins and it is a must.
JG 4 by Mombeek when it is finally published as well .........
both Dora volumes by EE also when published

If that's what interests you, then you must get "Air Power at the Battlefront" by Ian Gooderson. This is a scholarly work which critically examines exactly how effective the Allied fighter-bombers were in Europe, comparing claims with the results of Operational Research and so on. If you only read one book on WW2 tactical air power, it should be this one.
I'll get it as soon as. The Ninth Air Force by Kenn Rust seems full of painful over-claiming by the U.S pilots; as it was written in the 1960s it seems to fit the time. All the sources are American and there's no actual information from the German side - when it goes on about how 80 Bf 109s jumping 20 P-47s and there being 17 kills for no loss for the Americans ...I find it hard to believe.

better yet it would be right to choose the independent 9th AF unit histories that are coming along through the publishing circuit. the 368th fg just released theirs and it looks fantastic from the previews, also the Pioneer Mustang group the 354th fg is coming out from author Steve Blake as the unit was formed in my own state of Oregon you know I am looking forward to that ......
Erich

plan that is correct at wars end. the 9th AF unit was the top scoring fighter group of all US AF's during the war aerially. There are still a couple of guys living in Oregon/Washington that I know. One of the jet killers lives in Florida but in an assisted living quarters. K. Gross is up in Washington and is a super guy. Just released his own personal bio in book form this past year off of his personal web-site

amrit,
I'd be interested.
I've read 'Silently into the Midst of Things" about 177 Sq and Beaufighters over Burma (I think that's the name). What are some of yours?
I know a gent who flew RAAF Vultees, but I can never convince him to let me write a story or get him to.

Luftwaffe Test Pilot - Flying captured Allied Aircraft of World war 2 by Hans-Werner Lerche
War Prizes - an illustrated survey of German, Italian Japanese aircraft brought to Allied countries during and after the Second World War by Phil Butler (there's another companion book with even more pictures which I don't have)

I have quite a few aircraft-related books. I'll name a few of my favorites.
Airwar, Jabolonski (2 volumes)
Warplanes of the Third Reich, Green
Flyboys, Bradley (very disturbing, have to read it to understand the Japanese mindset in WWII)
Masters of the Air, Miller
Thunderbolt! Johnson
Samurai (not written by) Sakai
The Little Giants, Y'Blood (signed by the author for my Dad, a CVE veteran)
The Last Stand Of the Tin Can Sailors, Hornfischer
The last two are U.S. Navy-related. My dad served on a CVE and was present at the Battle Off Samar
(The Battle Off Samar - Main Menu)
and more......

Well, I have just ordered Gunther Rall's "My Logbook" from
www.twentyninesix.com I am basically a pushover for books signed
by the pilots/authors. Has anyone already seen this book and can
comment?

Am now finishing up Gunther Rall's "My Logbook" and highly recommend it.
Although it is a translation and is no doubt edited to read smoothly in
English, the book is like sitting with Gunther as he tells you how it all
played out for him. Very very readable. Most interesting for me is learning
just how a 27 year old pilot on the losing side of the war goes on to help
rebuild the Luftwaffe, a part of history that has been missing from my
rather narrow 1939-1945 library. Gunther also has no trouble 'setting the
record straight' if he disagrees with other pilots' recollections, even Hartmann's. Worth adding to your library.

My dominant area of interest is ETO which I believe was the center stage for Airpower - with a tip of the hat to Naval Air in the Pacific in the largest Theatre of Operations -ever.
Most of the books I recommend are well researched Fact Based doumentaries. They all make mistakes - god knows I sure did.
So, warts and all
1. Roger Freemans 8th AF tomes - a pioneer in 8th AF
2. Ken Rusts 9th Air Force
3. Kent Miller's Fighter Units and Pilots of 8th AF
4. The Mighty Eighth Combat Chronology - Andrews and Adams
5. Anything by Prein or Caldwell
6. USAF Study 85/USAAF 8th AF VCB/Frank Olynyk's Stars and Bars
7. Fire in the Sky (for airwar in Pacific)
8. Escort to Berlin by Ethell and Price - (model for my book)
9. Aces High by Shores and ?
Bios and stories
1. Mission w/LeMay -Cantor and LeMay
2. First of the Many by McCrary
3. Aces at War by Hammel
4. Adolph Galland - the Authorized Biography
5. Samurai by Sakai
6. Gunther Rall - Memoirs by Rall
7. Fighter Pilot of the Eighth by Fortier
8. First and the Last (Galland again) by Tolliver and Constable
9. Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe - Tolliver and Constable again
10. I could Never Be So Lucky Again - by Doolittel
Fabric/Causes of WWII - the politics
1. The Gathering Storm by Churchill - read this FIRST
2. Inside the Third Reich and Rise and Fall - by Speer
3. Forged in Fire/The Great Captains - DeWitt Coop
"There I was.." or "this is the way it was" (more bios)
1. Samurai by Sakai
2. Thunderbolt by Johnson
3. I Flew for the Fuhrer by Knocke
4. Stuka Pilot by Rudel
5. The Big Show by Closterman
6. The look of Eagles by John Godfrey
7. Interrogator by Scharff
8. Ploesti by Dugan and Stewart
and because it is about Airborne Infantry
1. Those Devils in Baggy Pants by Ross Carter - it led me astray
Nothing in there by USN or USMC as they are illiterate...but audio books out soon!!
