Book and research suggestions

[Newbie]

Hi all..

I am an Australian and am new to this field and was wondering if people out there could throw a few book titles at me that might help me get into researching the Luftwaffe. The down side is I only speak English, which I am trying to rectify.

My interest is with the Luftwaffe in the first half of the war in Europe (to about mid 1943). Mostly Western Europe and to a lesser extent Eastern Europe/Russia so if people could throw a few book suggestions my way, perhaps even some ideas on areas of research, I would be most appreciative. Being only new to this I don't want to pick something and find it is beyond my current abilities so if people can throw a few topics out there I would be most appreciative, also.

I do have a university degree so research in that sense isn't a big deal, but I don't want to ruin any future fun and knowledge by hitting the big/hard topics straight off.

Sorry if this is not appropriate, but I look forward to your responses.

Thanks

Newbie
