La Luftwaffe face au débarquement: Normandie 6 juin - 31 août 1944 (French Edition)
 

To anyone who owns the book by Jean-Bernard Frappé, could you summarize what the book offers for information? Are the operations detailed day-to-day from June 6th to Aug 31 on a tactical level or is it more operational? Maps? Loss / Claims list for both sides?

I can't find any reviews and the book is pricey. I'm hoping to find more information to make a decision on a purchase.

Thanks.

Each chapter is devoted to a Bf 109 or Fw 190 Gruppe and gives a day-by-day account of its operations, victories and losses. There are also appendices listing each day’s German claims and losses plus a list of wrecked 109s and 190s found in France.

This new edition is about 100 pages bigger than the original version.

What are the differences between the first edition and this new edition?

REALLY!? WHOA! Imagine all the missions a campaign creator for IL2 Sturmovik could make with that kind of information.

But the photos are of lesser quality in the second edition...
