I have a sneaking suspicion that you are not going to get an overwhelming response to your request. Therefore, I suggest you get these two books (the Ramsey work is in 3 volumes but you will only need the first two) which identify most of the Luftwaffe pilots who took part in the air offensive against England:

Mason, Francis K. Battle Over Britain (London, 1969).
Ramsey, Winston G. (ed.). The Blitz, Then And Now, 3 volumes, (London, 1988-90).

After that, and if you read German, you can spend a couple of thousand quid on the numerous unit histories of the Luftwaffe formations that flew in the air offensive.

Oh yes, one final item. "Britian" is spelled "Britain". If you don't spell it correctly, some people might not know what you are talking about.

Thank you for the reply and the English lesson, a simple slip on the keyboard which I am sure everyone has done.

Ok well maybe I can narrow this down a little.

If anyone has any pilot list of fighter units, either single or multi engine, no matter how small it would be a great help.
