Of course, John Foreman's "fighter command diary", Morton Jessen's " The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in North Africa", Nick Beale's excellent researchs about air war over Italy, Christopher shores's "2nd tactiv air force", Francis K. Mason's "battle for Britian".
Denes, according to my reading about air war in WWII, NONE of nation's airforce had an overclaim rate less then 2:1, Luftwaffe certainly did not submit more overall accurate claims than other airforce such like USAAF or RAF, to be fair, claims submitted by other airforce were not more accurate than Luftwaffe's either.
