George, thank you for those kind words. It was extremely important to me to document everything, I spent to much time/work on this to have anything dismissed. Sadly, only >1/3< of the documents I used are noted. But please be assured, the content was almost entirely from primary sources, i.e. Flugbuch, and numerous RLM/Messerschmitt etc documents.

I actually havn't put the numbers together to see what % were actually in combat, perhaps one of the readers will, it will be VERY interesting to see. Very best, Dan
