Re: 11 January 1944 mission (Oschersleben)
I ordered The Killing Sky from Flash Aviation: 25 Euros for the book, 25 Euros for shipping to the US, and an optional 7 Euros if you want tracking. Given the postal situation it will be a while before it gets here.
Ploesti: I would start by recommending Roger Freeman's Pictorial History of the Ploesti raid. A lot of pictures (obviously) with less text. But separate chapters on each of the five bomb groups and what happened to them. Plus a complete list of all aircraft participating (by group) with complete (maybe missing a few) lists of all crewmen on each aircraft, with the status of each aircraft after the mission (not a history of each surviving aircraft).
Enjoy!
Frank
