Re: Books or resources on the Latvian Air Force in WWII?
Richdic -

Dierich-VdL; Tessin-Tes; Kannapin-FpÜ; D.Littlejohn-Foreign Legions of the Third Reich/v.4:192; H.W.Neulen-In the Skies of Europe - Air Forces Allied to the Luftwaffe 1939-1945:300-12.

Especially Neulen (13 pages on it) and Littlejohn. AFAIK, Latvia's "Air Force" units were all components of the Luftwaffe with Latvian personnel and a small German cadre of 5 men including an officer. There was no separate and independent Latvian Air Force. One exception might have been a small seaplane unit that flew obsolete seaplanes over the Gulf of Riga.
