Hi all,

I am looking for the history and the order of battle of the Luftwaffe from 1939 to 1945.

I would like to have a reference book regarding their units:
. Single engine fighter units
. Twin engine fighter units
. Maritime units
. Bomber units
. Reconnaissance units

And, their airfields deployment before each of the major campaigns:
. Poland
. Norway
. France and Low Countries
. Greece
. North Africa
. Russia

Could you please recommend one or two books? Hoping these books are still orderable.

Thanks

Thank you so much. From the same author, I have also found this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Order-Battle-German-Luftwaffe-WWII/dp/1906626308

Do you own it as well?

Thanks for the advice. I bought this book and actually it is very interesting. Will try to find out the second one but Amazon don't want to ship it to my place...
