The most valuable publications on the Lw.-Flakartillerie are:

Great Britain: MI15/War Office, May 1946, Handbook of German Anti Aircraft Artillery (Flak), 14 volumes of mimeographed manuscript.
Koch, Horst-Adalbert, Flak: Die Geschichte der deutschen Flakartillerie und der Einsatz der Luftwaffenhelfer. (Podzun Verlag: Bad Nauheim, 1965). 682p.
Nicolaisen, Hans-Dietrich. Gruppenfeuer und Salventakt: Schüler und Lehrlinge bei der Flak 1943-1945. Büsum, 1993. 2 Bde.

Only Koch has mini-histories, but these are no more than one or two short sentences for each one. The Michael Holm website aqnd Lexikon der Wehrmacht are much better.

Thank you for the pointers and also to Simon for the comprehensive list of sources.
