Combat Ranges

Has anyone done any research in English on the combat ranges for WWII Luftwaffe aircraft? For starters I am particularly interested in the bombers from early variants in the mid 1930's up to the end of the war.

Most text books just give ranges and occassionally with bland statements such as with bombload, which of course can vary.

The only time I have seen detailed data was in German (original Junkers I think) in Stern's ? book on the JU 87.

The sort of data I am after is by variant and sub variant max speed, cruise speed, max range with bombload a, b, c etc. For example a JU 88A4 I think had about 6 or 7 different range/bombload configurations.

Any takers? Anyone else interested in this subject that I can exchange data with?
