The Battle of Britain:
The Greatest Air Battle of World War II
by Richard Hough, Denis Richards

"An unsentimental and unaffected account of how the outnumbered RAF fought the Luftwaffe to a standstill during the summer and early autumn of 1940 ... A wide-ranging, painstakingly documented and comprehensive appreciation of a turning-point engagement." Kirkus Reviews.

The Luftwaffe War Diaries:
The German Air Force in World War II
by Cajus Bekker, Frank Ziegler
Paperback (1994)

Perfect !! Cajus Bekker´s book is the best ever written about the subject and comes from a remarkable neutral point of view, considering the fact the writer is a German. In only one volume, he sets up the reader in the real demands placed upon the Luftwaffe even before the War, and shows the way that the German publicity machine worked over their initial sucesses. He also describes all kinds of combat squadrons, including bomber, dive-bombers and reccon, without talking only about the fighter pilots, differently from so many books. Great! A War Aviation fan must have this one!! An excellent account of the Luftwaffe from the German side. A very interesting book that offers excellent insight into the German strategy in all aspects of the Luftwaffe's battle's during WWII. This book cover's the whole spectrum of Luftwaffe units; from the classic fighter and bomber squadron's, to the Paratroop Division's, to the 88mm Flak units accompanying the Wehrmacht, to the Armored/Mechanized units like the Hermann Goering Division.
