Inhaltsangabe

This book charts the experiences of the German fighter pilots in World War II, based on extensive recollections of veterans as well as primary documents, diaries, and flying log books, with photographs from the veterans themselves. There are no more than a handful of WWII Luftwaffe members alive today. Patrick Eriksson had the foresight to record their experiences first-hand. Some witnesses ended up as senior fighter controllers, and one was even a Luftwaffe psychologist. The recollections and views of the former pilots are put within the historical context of the German aerial war. This first volume covers Poland, Denmark, and Norway, the Phoney War, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, the Battle of Britain, combating the RAF sweeps in the West, and finally, the Battle of Germany.
