I had a look at Ward's book and in the areas I know a little about (Nachtschlachtgruppen) he certainly didn't separate fact from fantasy. The caption to the profile of a supposed NSG 9 machine says, IIRC, that the Gruppe flew tank-busting missions at night. I'd love to see his evidence for that!

Griehl's book is OK but again, where I know something about them, the potted unit histories are not always reliable.

Squadron/Signal's "Ju 87 in Action" is a useful reference (especially for illustrating for detailed modifications to different types).

Finally, distrust any book that goes on at length about the Ju 87 D-7 and D-8. I've never seen one mention of these sub-types in a loss report, strength return or crash/capture investigation.
