Despite the mentioned books, which are excellent, you'll find detailed 9th AF operations day-by-day for spring 1945 on microfilm reels of AFHRA. For example, the time frame February 2nd - February 12th is documented in microfilm reel # B5692 with 1449 pages. The time frame March 17th - March 24th 1945 you'll find on microfilm reel # 5696 (1714 pages) and so on.

When you contact AFHRA, I would suggest the following:
1) Ask then to give you the reel numbers for the entire run of 9th AAF daily operations summaries from 1 Jan 45 to 8 May 45;
2) I am guessing that might be 16 to 18 reels @ $30.00 each;
3) Be sure and ask for them in DVD format on a disc rather than in microfilm format so you can use them directly on your computer - you can then split your screen horizontally and work from the opsums to your manuscript.
Good luck and best wishes for your project!
