Re: What is your favourite REAL WW2 aviation book?
Another vote for JG26 by Caldwell and Eagles Wings by Hajo Herrman. Both of which I bought as a young man from the now defunct Military and Aviation book club and which got me started on a lifelong interest/career in military aviation.
What really ignited my fascination with the Luftwaffe was “Bloody Biscay” by Chris Goss, I couldn’t really believe what an amazing and well illustrated story it was and I lapped it up. Many years later my friend Chris kindly helped me find out the fate of my Great Uncle who flew with KG54 and coincidentally, I was subsequently given a set of 248 Sqn pilot logbooks (now returned to the family) to a Beaufighter pilot who was featured in Bloody Biscay several times.
