Re: Which books will help me?
As for Soviet side, Il-2 pilot Vasili B. Emelianenko's memoirs are good.

If your command of French is acceptable, then do not miss the Batalilles Aériennes series by Avions:

Re: Which books will help me?
While many of the books listed by Mr. Stadler would certainly be treasured as part of any collection, most don't contain any, or minimal, detail along the lines of the LG 1 series you already stated that you have. The books by Georg Brütting are excellent, but mostly include short WWII bios of individual pilots. The unit histories, again all excellent, but limited in trying to cover the history of any given unit from 39-45 in single volumes - hard to do with any kind of detail or commentary such as you mentioned from the LG 1 volumes. (and KG 27 which totals 7 volumes.) The Fast books on JG 52 actually consist of 5, 7, 8 volumes (can't remember exact total) - I have part 4 with the unit losses, but the others are hard to find.

Re: Which books will help me?
Funds are now exhausted having bought JG77 Band 2, KG27 Band 4, KG54, KG100, JG27, KG51. I may acquire more should funds permit. Thank you to all for your advice.
It should keep me and a very helpful Kamerad busy for some time. That and the 100+ other books, documents and files I still have to translate. If I can help anyone in my chosen subjects (Endkampf and divisional histories), please don't hesitate to ask. I have one or two volumes...
