Re: JG26 Siegfried Sy

I suppose we could Consider a first hand account as any Pilot, Or Luftwaffe member account, And it would also be of interest to me if it were only about day to day operations, Let alone a Combat account. I have seen many accounts that take from a paragraph to 3-6 pages. See the excellent and most valuable account by Roderich Cescotti on page 142 of Jerry Crandalls Fine book "The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Dora" by Eagle-Editions Ltd. This is one of the most important accounts released in years. It takes up a solid 6 pages of text, And I highly recommend it to anyone who has not read it!
I also consider alot of books recently released as photoless, As most... If not all photos have been released at one time, Or over and over again.
Oh well....perhaps sombody? Or even several writers together will pick up the ball and run with it?
If photos are a must? the Pilots and ground crew could be featured as there are many photos not released, even photos of mundane dy to day tasks would be of interest.
