Dr. Prien
When can we expect publication of the three elements of Volume 10? Your last post on the subject stated an expectation of publication at year end 2006.

Although mentioned above under JFV 10/I, here is the Christian Schmidt announcement:

thank you

Gentlemen,

it is sad but it is true that the publication date had to be postponed over and over again owing to the fact that with official source material from the USAAF coming in late a lot of contradicting information has come up that needs to be scrutinized in detail and cross checked and eventually worked into the manuscript. Also there are still eight out of about 35 maps / track charts pending. So, I hope it will be August in the end. I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long this time but I hope that you will bear with me that there is no point in rushing things at the risk of publishing a book with avoidable mistakes. I do also hope that at the end of the day the result will make good for your patience.

Regards

A question regarding Vol 10... I'm doing some research for some decals and I'm looking for a list of Friedrich Eberle's kills in the last half of 1943 and early 1944. Is the units' kills listed just like in Vol.9 and if so, in which of the books in Vol 10 will cover III./JG1?

I've just started getting into this series and I think it's excellent by the way! (It's making me brush up on my german which is usefule too!)

Thanks in advance! / Anders

Dear Anders,

The claims list for III./JG 1 will be in Vol. 10 / II as far as 1943 is concerned and in Vol. 13 for the 1944 period. Hope this helps and thank you for the flowers.

Dear Jim P.,

no, it is not our intent to further include the service of the Schlachtgruppen nor of the reconnaissance units ( F, H or NAG ) although it is definitely tempting since both types of units were involved in aerial combats and reported a substantial number of claims. But for the time being it would be just too much to deal with. To be honest, we had some discussions amongst the team whether or not to include II.(S)/LG2 at all and finally arrived at the solution that you can see - the Gruppe is dealt with until the end of the Balkans Campaign and no further. This was born out by the fact that we had researched it up to that point and didn't want to waste what we had found. Surely not exactly a logical argument but then I think it didn't do the whole thing any harm.

I personally have been contemplating doing something on the Bf 109's in recce units as I have quite a lot of interesting material on that subject, but for the time being it is the JFV series which has absolute priority, if I ever live to see it reaching the end. So, no promises made with respect to the recce units.
