Jim-

Thanks for your thoughts also. I've heard really good things on the JaPo Bf 109 volumes, especially the BF 109K. Unfortunately those are sold out and I have not been able to find them on eBay, abebooks, or the used booksellers on Amazon. I've sent an email to the JaPo publisher point person to see if JaPo would consider re-publishing the Bf 109K series, but I'm not holding my proverbial breath. I'll look into the authors you mention above; for photograph-oriented books, my lack of German or French comprehension would not be prohibitive.

Thanks again,
Kenneth
