Hi all, 
 Just wondered if anyone here can help me find a book i read many years ago. It was an account of WW2 german nightfighter pilot flying Me 110's and I think it was called " Above me the stars" or something very similar! I have searched and searched for this book to no avail.
Maybe I have the name slightly wrong and can't remember the name of the author. Have search many specialist bookshops and scoured the net. Can anyone help?

A very hard to find selfpublished Book, but most in German:
-Werner Kock: Das Kriegstagebuch des Nachtjagd-Geschwaders 6, Wittmund 1996, 310 Seiten/without ISBN(GER)

-Otto Möhlenbeck und Manfred Leihse: Ferne Nachtjagd - Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1940-1945/3-87943-413-1/Motorbuch Verlag/1976(GER)
-Heinz Rökker: Chronik I. Gruppe Nachtjagdgeschwader 2 - Juli 1940 bis Kriegsende 1945/ Fernenachtjagd 1940-1942    3-925480-21-8/VDM Heinz Nickel/1997(GER)
-Ludwig v. Eimannsberger/Zerstörergruppe - A History of V./ (Z)LG1-I./ NJG3 1939-1941/0-7643-0479-8/Schiffer Publishing/1998(ENG)
-Werner Held und Holger Nauroth: Die deutsche Nachtjagd, Paul Pietsch Verlag (Motorbuch), Stuttgart 1978, ISBN 3-87943-593-6

18yrs ago I read a good book about a NJG, completely forget about the name, there with a lot of personal memories from Wilhem Johnen, Knacke and others from that unit. It was a good balance between archival data and personal records.
A Wiki search did it, this was the book I read some years ago:

-Duell unter den Sternen, Wilhelm Johnen, Flechsig Verlag, ISBN978-3-8035-0003-8
Duell under the Stars
Good question, who the piep had lend this book and never gave it back to me? I put a spell on you, book lending bastards.
Anyway, should go on my list for Amazon, next month.
-Nächte im Bomberstrom, Paul Zorner, herausgegeben von Kurt Braatz, Neunundzwanzigsechs Verlag Moosburg 2007
-Wolfgang Borgmeyer: Prinz Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein - Das Ass der Nachtjäger. In: Wittgenstein. Blätter des Wittgensteiner Heimatvereins e.V., Bd. 73 (2009)
-Claire Rose Knott: Princes of Darkness: The Lives of Luftwaffe Night Fighter Aces Heinrich Prinz Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and Egmont Prinz Zur Lippe-Weissenfeld. Cascade Photographies, 7. Mai 2009, ISBN 978-1-903223-95-6.


I hope you get help from our English reading Members too,
