Hi Willi,

It has been a while and you haven't received a reply so I'll try to add what I can here for you. To learn about the diets on airfields, you will likely find the details amongst various pilot memoirs.

Since my focus is on Richthofen, I can tell you that at times, his airfield was lucky enough to enjoy a garden. When he was stationed on the eastern front, the men had the rare treat of strawberries and cream with meals. If I find anything else I'll try to post it for you.
