Luftwaffe Jet Losses to USAAF fighters

Good day everyone! I'm longtime WIX'er posting here for the first time. I"m currently researching USAAF fighter pilots that downed Me262s, Me163s, Ar234s, and He162s.

I have mostly complete list of Me262 kills, a few Me163 and Ar234 kills, and no He162 kills. I received a couple hundred dollars in Barnes and Noble gift cards and used them to buy several Luftwaffe jet-related books because I want to research the Luftwaffe pilots as well.

Is there a list anywhere of jet losses?

It's amazing, all this interest came from writing a magazine article about Ben Drew.

You will get a fairly accurate recompilation of 8th AF Credits in Miller's Fighter Units and Pilots of the Eight Air Force by Miller - Vol 1. Schiffer publisher.

Also in the book German Jets Versus the U.S. Army Air Force: Battle for the Skies over Europe by William Hess. It is still listed on Amazon.

Also in Messerschmitt Combat Diary Me.262, by John Foreman and S E Harvey. Also on Amazon. Be sure to get the 1995 edition published by Crecy, with 405 pages, rather than the 1990 edition from Air Research Publications, with 256 pages.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Thank you gentlemen, especially Frank for making the distinction between the editions of the Me 262 Diary.

Re: Luftwaffe Jet Losses to USAAF fighters

Pardon my ignorance, but what is WIX? Per Google it is some sort of web site development tool and/or something to do with Wikipedia. (WIX is described as the tool per Wiki.) Is this something else? I've never seen this reference before.
