Upcoming books on Luftwaffe's airlift to Stalingrad

I found two forthcoming books on the Luftwaffe's botched airlift to German forces at the Battle of Stalingrad:

https://www.amazon.com/Stalingrad-Airli ... 132&sr=1-1

These two books will provide in-depth info into how Hitler and Göring's promises to provide strategic airlift to the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad fell apart, and the forthcoming book To Save an Army relies on previously unpublished diaries, original Luftwaffe reports and specially commissioned artworks to shed new light into foundering efforts by German strategic airlift units to keep the Sixth Army afloat at Stalingrad. If the Luftwaffe had chosen to dispatch its Me 323 Gigant airlifters to Stalingrad to provide reinforcements to the Sixth Army rather than North Africa, it is possible that German forces might have had enough ammunition and weapons to finish off Soviet battalions in Stalingrad.
