Re: Help, please.
Dear Michele,
the basic difference between the unit histories - JG's 1, 11, 53 and 77 - and the JFV series is that the former are detailed accounts of the respective units whereas the latter is intended to deal with the entire fighter arm and therefore to give a rather short summary only of all units involved. Other than the unit histories each of the volumes of the JFV series covers a specific theatre of war for a specific period, such as the Vol. 8 you mentioned, which deals with the service of the fighter arm in the Mediterrannean theatre of war in the year 1942 and should cover all fighter units that were employed there during at least part of this period.
If you're looking for more detailed accounts of a unit that I / we have covered so far, then it would be in the unit histories with the illustrated Grppen histories of JG's 3 and 27 coming close.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Jochen Prien
