Luftwaffe fighters order of battle - source question
Gentlemen,
I am currently attempting to find data regarding the total strength of Luftwaffe single-engine fighters in 1942 and 1943, sub-divided according to the Luftflotte to which they belonged. There is a graph, but no numerical data, on this subject in the United States Strategic Bombing Survey report entitled “The Defeat of the German Air Force". The graph can be seen at the following link. I wonder if the tabulated data, on which the above graph was based, can be found in another of the Bombing Survey reports. Does any forum member know if that is the case? As a related question, is anyone aware whether a copy of the “Military Analysis Division: German Order of Battle” report is available at the National Archives?

Re: Luftwaffe fighters order of battle - source question
Having worked on this some more, I have located a total of three relevant documents in the National Archives. I am now looking for 3 more documents and 1 journal article. I would be very grateful for any ideas as to where the latter documents can be found at the National Archives, or indeed whether they are available there at all.
The 3 documents which I have located are as follows:

The second topic in which I am asking questions this month is many years after Paul.
Are there documents in BA MA on the basis of which AIR 40/2423 was compiled? Best regards, Andrey |

Andrey -
"Paul Thompson" was a nom de plume (I hope I spelled that right) for a member who used several pseudonyms here before he began using his real name about 2019 or so. I used to correspond with him until c. 2021, but I haven't heard from him since then. L. deZ. |

Hello Larry,
I corresponded with him too. Anyway, the question is about the German original source of AIR 40/2423. Best regards, Andrey |

It was compiled from the papers of General Karl Koller, as far as I know.
