Amazon.de certainly does ship to the US, but their 3rd party sellers (the Amazon Marketplace) don't. Because the book is out-of-print, there is only one copy available on Amazon.de and it's from a Marketplace seller.
The good news is that the book isn't very difficult to find. There are currently two copies on eBay.de -- just do a search for "chronik 51". Also, if you consult the usual book search engines, you'll find over a dozen copies available from European booksellers.

What books on JG 51 have Mombeek and Prien written?
|
Actually, yogybär was simply stating that the Aders/Held title doesn't come up to the standard of the detailed and comprehensive unit histories we've come to expect from the likes of Mombeek and Prien. While neither Mombeek nor Prien have done a JG 51-specific history, Prien's excellent Jagdfliegerverbände series does contain a great deal of information about JG 51 (as it does about all Jagdwaffe units.)
A few more titles about JG 51:
- "Kagero Air Miniatures #29: JG 51, part 1" by Murawski -- the first of a multi-part series on the unit, in Polish and English.
- "Osprey Aviation Elite Units #22: Jagdgeschwader 51 'Mölders'" by Weal (to be published in Oct 2006)
- "Kreuze im Himmel wie auf Erden: Fronterleben im Jagdgeschwader Mölders" by Günther Rübell -- Rübell was a RKT with 48 victories who served in JG 51 from late 1940 to mid 1944. His autobiography contains some details about the unit as well.
