Book on USAAF Schweinfurt Operations
Peter,
It seems that there is no reliable, up-to-date account of the 14 October 1943 "Black Thursday" operation against Schweinfurt. There is an old and beautifully written but not very reliable or detailed book by Martin Caiden titled Black Thursday, and I recommend this because of its gripping English prose and not because it is good history.
It appears to me that the best published account of the 14 Oct. 1943 Schweinfurt operation is that in Caldwell/Muller, The Luftwaffe Over Germany. I also recommend that you look at Newton/McFarland, To Command the Skies. I rather doubt, however, that either of these excellent works will yield the detail that you are seeking. Sadly, the magisterial Prien/Rodeike/ Stemmer/Bock Jagdflieger Verbände series does not encompass Zerstörer units.
