Judging by the information you've given, the biography by Peter Hinchliffe called The Lent Papers, would be a good place to start. Also a general work like Ernst Obermeiers's Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe can fill in many of the basic details, like award and promotion dates.
I'd be surprised you find much in his Flugbuch that is needed in an article about graves.
For you second article I understand your wish, but there you are probably forced to do your own research.
