Hi Mike,

Here are some more recommendations:

• Caldwell "JG 26: Top Guns of the Luftwaffe"
• Kagero "JG 26 'Schlageter', vol. I" (issue #2 in their unit history series)
• Kagero "JG 26 'Schlageter', vol. II" (issue #25 in their unit history series)
• Goss "Luftwaffe Fighter-Bombers over Britain" (covers 10.(Jabo)/JG 26 in 1942-43)
• Vasco "9. Staffel/Jagdgeschwader 26" (purely photographic content)

There's some JG 26 coverage in each of the Galland biographies:

• Galland "The First and the Last"
• Toliver, Constable "Fighter General: The Life of Adolf Galland"
• Baker "Adolf Galland: The Authorised Biography"
• Held "Adolf Galland: A Pilot's Life in War and Peace"
• Caldwell, Michulec "Adolf Galland"

If you read German, there's also:

• Priller "JG 26: Geschichte eines Jagdgeschwaders"
• Prien "Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutschen Luftwaffe" (vols. 1, 2, 3, 4/I, 5, 7)
• Gomann "Und über uns der Himmel: Fliegergeschichten vom JG 26"

Hope that helps,
