I really enjoyed Classic Publications Luftwaffe Colours Jagdwaffe series of books. The ones that I've read seem balanced without glorification of "Blonde Knights" and objectivity in terms of analysis of claimed vs. real losses on both sides.

Try The One That Got Away.

What an amazing character that Von Werra was.

Also, Horrido. Good overview of several pilots.

Stuka Pilot by Rudel too

One of my favorites that is more individual stories of planes/pilots is Janes "Battles with the Luftwaffe" which gives specific stories of bomber crews and the fighter pilots that flew against them..

This is a good book. Also, for in-depth and balanced views, consider the excellent range of books by Christer Bergstrom (e.g. Barbarossa: The Air Battle and the Black Cross - Red Star series.

Luftwaffe over America (Griehl) also has very interesting photos and information on some of the long range aircraft planned and built for the Luftwaffe, including their B29 lookalike. Fighting the Bombers (Ed. Isby) is also very good and incorporates the post-war accounts given by German high ranking POWs during their formal 'interviews' by Allied intelligence/analysis officers.

Anything by Dave Wadman (author of Aufklarar), William Green (Warplanes of the Third Reich), or Ken Merrick (Luftwaffe Colors).

Graf and Grislawski: A Pair of Aces

Hermann Graf & Alfred Grislawski

Black Cross-Red Star series is excellent (also expensive)

Jagdgeschwader 300 Wilde Sau Vol 1 & 2 excellent but also expensive

JG 300
