Books & Articles on the RAF at Dieppe - Operation Jubilee

Hello everyone

I am seeking recommendations for books on RAF operations during "Operation Jubliee" - the landings at Dieppe on August 19th, 1942

Norman Franks' history is the most prominent one out there but there must be other squadron histories and memoirs to consider as well as accounts by German and U.S. pilots.

Thanks.

The Greatest Air Battle - Dieppe, 19th August 1942
(Grub Street Publishing 1978)
(William Kimber, London, 1979)
by Norman Franks
256 pages - hardback

"When Canadian troops and British Commandos made their famous "reconnaissance in force" against the harbour town of Dieppe on 19th August 1942, they were supported and protected by a large array of Royal Air Force aircraft. Air Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, AOC of Fighter Command's No 11 Group, was given command of the air operation and had at his disposal more squadrons than were available to ACM Hugh Dowding at any one time during the Battle of Britain two years previously. Norman Frank gives a detailed, blow-by-blow account of this day, which has become accepted as the one on which the Royal Air Force fought possibly its greatest air battle."
