Hi Sue,
Nice to have you on board! May I recommend an excellent book on KG26 (which I'm reading and thoroughly enjoying right now)? It's called "Die Spur des Löwen" by Alexander Steenbeck, ISBN 978-3-00-0039734-0.
http://www.die-spur-des-loewen.de/englisch.html It has almost a thousand pictures and maps, the story about your dad is on page 250.

Regarding your last remark above: Don't let the German language put you off, you will be surprised how much you will understand if you are really interested in the subject and using just a simple dictionary
(I think you would be even more surprised if you knew how many people on this board are not native German speakers, let alone how many are not even native English speakers..
) Even if you would read only the photo captions, this book will help to put the war career of your dad into perspective and give you a good impression of what his colleagues, aircraft and daily ops looked like.
