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

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

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.
