operational diaries/histories - Aircraft of World War II

andqui · 05-30-2009, 03:12 PM

I'm looking for any day-by-day operational diaries of any luftwaffe JG squadron for a project I'm doing. Information such as # of planes put into the air, mission, kills, losses, maybe routes?

I'd love to find some stuff online, but if anyone can point me to a book that would be good too.

thanks in advance

I was looking for something more like official squadron logs-

but these will help, too.

There's an extensive three volume set of books on JG53 I seem to remember...damned expensive though!

truth of the matter is thus : you will have to buy books to have the official logs if this is what you seek, there is nothing on-line except the Jg 54 diary and that is not update either, he is sowrking on it but it is a very slow process. forget the net, go do some serious research in books

Its not a Jagdgeschwader but its the only thing I've found on the net. But like Erich said, books are far more helpful and accurate.
