Galland accounts of air combats
Hello
Anybody knows if any first hand accounts of air combats of Adolf Galland were ever published? I am interested in a number of combats and cannot find any source. Thanks |

Franek, What scources do you have at your fingertips? Just wondering why you cannot find anything?

I have both Galland books (that means his and T&C), Don Caldwell's JG26 diary, etc. Neither of them provides extensive first hand narratives of Galland's combats. I am in particular interested in a few dog fights from September 1940 and looking for possible source of accounts similar to those the one can find in combat report narratives. |

Galland wrote to me in the 80s giving accounts of 2 combats, one of which was when he shot down Bird-Wilson of 17 Sqn; the other was in July 1940. He also told me about 15 Aug 40

Re: Galland accounts of air combats
So at least two are saved, but not the ones I am looking for, eg. the one of 6 September.
Also, does anyone have a good account of his fateful combats on 21 June 1941? I cannot find the description in his book in any way exhaustive. |
