Re: JG 300 book
Hi Erich,
Erich Staschewski (7./JG 300) died for many years. His only known mission at the controls of a Dora-9 occured on April 24th, 1945 (low level attack of the last Donau-bridges and allied road-traffic in the Höchstädt-Dillingen-Aislingen area). This was the second mission of II./JG 300 of the day - and for him, as described in our volume 2, the very last one. All the best from France |

Re: JG 300 book
.. my copy JG 300 Vol II (Docavia ) arrived just in time for Christmas... thanks Richard !!
stunning ! & the Goyat/Sundin artwork is superb !...highlights (covered photographically) include the G-6/AS with the large comet emblem on the cowl in close-up (10./JG 300), six new photos of a red-legged G-10 of IV./JG 300, a Sturm 190 in eastern front camo finish with the blue/white/blue bands ..and plenty more .. most Luftwaffe unit histories end up covering the late-war period in only sketchy detail.. here the last chapter in the book (March, April) is the longest at over 100 pages.. there are even personal accounts from the fighting in Prague in May 1945.. Book of the year ! Last edited by FalkeEins; 27th December 2005 at 11:44. |

urgent need for JG 300 Vol II
First, let me add my vote to those saying that Vol I is one of the best Luftwaffe unit histories -- ever. Second, altho I have my order in with the Crandalls for Vol II, I have an urgent need for the French edition. I don't read French, but the tables (credited, of course) will be very useful for a project of my own, which has an early deadline. I haven't had any luck contacting Docavia directly -- can anyone help me get "quick" service (including air mail)?
Horrido! Don |

Re: JG 300 book

Re: JG 300 book
Thanks for the help. Amazon is out of stock, but I was finally able to track down a purchase order from the publisher, Lariviere, thru a site titled "L'aerobibliotheque" & order directly. This was much tougher than most internet searches. Docavia is a Lariviere imprint and has no site of its own, and the Lariviere site itself appears to list only magazines. But it looks like things are moving in the right direction -- the key was finding the French title (thru Amazon) & searching for that with Google. Surprisingly (or not) there's no Jagdgeschwader 300 or JG 300 in the title.

Re: JG 300 book (French sources)
Don, you could also try "La Maison du Livre Aviation" in Paris. Their website is:
http://www.livre-aviation.com/mdl/indexmarket.html I've only bought from them in person rather than online but the shop itself is excellent. |

Re: JG 300 book
This is probably not the most appropriate location for this query, but since Mr. Lorant is participating in this thread, thought I will ask :
Any online source for procuring "Le Focke Wulf 190" which I understand is long out of print and very difficult to locate ? Thoroughly enjoyed "JG 300 Vol. 1" and looking forward to volume 2.... Regds, |

Re: JG 300 book
One might just as well ask if there are any ideas to translate this work to english and republish?
