Hi gents,

It is realy a day to day history of I. and II./KG 51 using the Me.410 in the west between 6/2/44 and 28/8/44. There are 5 pages with photos, mostly known.
Next chapter deals with III./KG 51 flying the Fw.190 Jabos, between 1/1/44 and march 1944 + 18/7/44 and 25/11/44. At the end there are 8 known prictures of a 190 during the Allied Invasion in 1944.
The next chapter tells the story of the Erg.Gruppe IV./KG 51 (Jan.~Dec.1944) and includes 9 pictures at least not known to me.
From page 128 the 262 comes into the picture: the first arrivals; equipment of the first gruppe, Einsatskommando Schenk, the missions of I. and II./KG 51, Gefechtsverband Kowalewski, the last battles.
Then you get a list of pilots with RK and RK/EL and Deutschen Kreuzes in Gold. You will find a incomplete list with the unit leaders (Kdre,Gr.Kdr, St.Kap.) and at last also a list with al the known losses.
Ok its not cheap, but as my interest is the unit histories of the German units during WW2, I'm verry satisfied that I bought the book.
So if someone want some more details, feel free to ask.
Kind regards,
