Going back to the problem of language regarding Polish-German airwar 1939 books. Thinking the whole picture "Lufwaffe nad Polska" (with all controversiality aroused) is probably the Book of most recent study. But currently there is not enough market for German/English publication. Jerzy Cynk has couple of books published (The Polish Air Force at war), but again there has been some controversy on methodology.

When I think Murawski´s book Bf 109 C/D in Polish Campaign, I must say that it is a little wonder that such book exists. Taking in account the rarity of early Bf 109 models and their use in a campaign that lasted roughly two weeks. It was interesting read, but I was not completely satisfied with its content. I think too much "propaganda prose" was included - this is a problem also with some Condor Legion books, which use as their source a 1939 published Das Buch der Spanienflieger and repeat its content without any criticism. Those "first-hand accounts" should not be taken as 100 % authentic descriptions of air combats. It is noteworthy that Werner Mölders did not want to participate in the project of Das Buch der Spanienflieger. He considered it to be dubious propaganda, in which he did not want to be a part.

The "propaganda prose" has its place as a testimony/document of its own time, but reader should be advised to read it critically. What I missed in Murawski´s book was an analysis and some overall view of German-Polish airwar. As is it was, the book is mostly filled with "propaganda prose" of German pilots. However Murawski and his publisher deserve credit for risking to publish a book about a rare subject.

By the way, are there some good web articles about this subject (Bf 109 in German-Polish airwar or the German-Polish airwar 1939 in general) - something better than wiki?
