Re: La Luftwaffe face au Debarquement Revised Edition question

Hi Marcel,

Frappe's book (especially the larger revised version) is an essential resource on all Luftwaffe single-engined fighter operations in Normandy and Provence from Jun 6 to Aug 31 1944, but it doesn't cover any bomber operations.
It provides detailed day-by-day accounts for each Jagdgeschwader unit involved, plus the Fw 190s of I./SKG 10 and III./SG 4, and the Bf 109s of a few Aufklärungsgruppen. Also includes extensive lists of claims and losses.

I did a quick scan of several other publications about the air war in Normandy, but could only find some details and OOBs for Luftwaffe bomber operations in these:
  • Avions Magazine "Hors Serie #2: La Bataille Aerienne de Normandie - Juin/Aout 44" by Yves Buffetaut, published by Editions Lela Presse in 1994, 98 pages
  • "Les Avions du 6 Juin: La Bataille du Ciel" by Bernard Crochet, published by Editions Heimdal in 1993, 80 pages, ISBN: 2840480174
  • "Operation 'Overlord' June-September 1944, Volume 1: RAF & Commonwealth Air Forces plus 'Luftflotte 3' supplement" by Neil Robinson, published by AIRfile Pubs in 2011, 72 pages, ISBN: 9780956980205
  • "Air War Normandy" by Richard Bickers, published by Leo Cooper in 1994,174 pages, ISBN: 0850524121 (10 pages on torpedo attacks by III./KG 26 on Allied ships)
Regards,
Leon Venter
