  • Air Aces: Austro-Hungarian Empire 1914-1918.  This is the story of the courageous airmen who fought gallantly for their empire in the first air war. Although frequently outnumbered, they fought on with remarkable success until the end. Biographical sketches, illustrated by 240 rare photographs of the aces and their aircraft, are given for all 49 aces. Author Martin O'Connor. Flying Machines Press, 1986.
  • Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe by Raymond F. Toliver and Trevor J. Constable, Copyright 1977.  Book overview: Ride into combat with such Luftwaffe luminaries as ace of aces Erich Hartmann, Gunther Rall, Gerhard Barkhorn and dozens of others as they provide first-hand accounts of the German fighter arm’s epic battle for the skies over Europe, Africa, and Russia. Accurate pen portraits illuminate outstanding fighter leaders and tutor like Werner Molders, Adolph Galland, “Macky” Steinhoff and many more, who invested the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm with its characteristic spirit and vigor. Legendary air heroes like Marseille, and mercurial “Star of Africa”, are shown in hundreds of photos from German collections. Also included are data lists covering all known Luftwaffe aces, night fighter aces, jet aces, and tops & firsts.
