Hi again Erik !

The best bet is to find the web-site with Eric Mombeek. I had it but cannot find it at present time. He has just released his fine work on JG 5 this past year. Your search engine should provide the info. He is from Belgium and is a great guy. An older book was written on JG 5 by author Werner Girbig through Motorbuch Verlag in 1976. It was the reference to have but much of the info is very brief compared to the day by day reference of Mombeek.
JG 77 has been covered in a multi volume work by Dr. Jochen Prien through Struve Druck Verlag based in Eutin, Germany. I do not own these volumes. Do believe they are now out of print unless you can find them in an antiqurian book dealer and you may be awfully lucky. Excellent work these are. I have his JG 1/11, JG 3 and JG 27 volumes.

good luck !

E
