Afternoon PhilDragoo.

"Castles in the Air" by Martin Bowman and "Flying Forts" by Martin Caiden are excellent books on the B-17.

"The First and the Last" by Adolf Galland is a good concise history of the Luftwaffe.

"Castles in the Air" by Martin Bowman and "Flying Forts" by Martin Caiden are excellent books on the B-17.

If I might suggest, and if you haven't already read:

"The Mighty Eighth", Roger Freeman

And four outstanding personal recollections:

"Serenade to the Big Bird", Bert Stiles (hard to find, from a B-17 co-pilot who did not survive the war)
"B-17s Over Berlin", ed. Ian Hawkins (stories from the 95th BG)
"The Lucky Bastard Club", Eugene Fletcher, 95th BG
"A Wing And A Prayer", Harry Crosby, 100th BG

Happy reading :)
