"This book is a unique illustrated account of the careers of the two 'fighting princes' of the Luftwaffe's night fighter force, Heinrich Prinz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and Egmont Prinz zur Lippe- Weissenfeld, whose dramatic lives were often inter-connected. The book is the result of many years' research on the part of its author, Claire Rose Knott, who was granted unprecedented access by the princes' respective families to previously unpublished diaries, personal correspondence, logbooks and family photographs. The work also benefits from research in archival resources, technical data and recollections supplied by the princes' night fighter contemporaries, together with first-hand accounts from family, friends and fellow officers which offer a unique insight into the ambition, intensity and actions of the leading characters in time of war. [.] The book includes essential details of aircraft, weaponry, equipment and combat strategies which are required to gain an overall understanding of the contribution of the night fighter to the German war effort, and the text is supported by a wealth of rare and fascinating photographs, together with commissioned colour artwork of the princes' aircraft. However, the main theme of the book is to uncover the tragedy of the princes all too short lives and unveil the human element behind the enigma of these two German war heroes. As such, it is a revealing and absorbing account of the role of the German aristocracy during World War 2, which will be fascinating reading for all aviation enthusiasts and historians." /// Cloth binding with dust jacket; hardback, 208 pp., 8° (17.5 x 25 cm), dust jacket has tiny tear, condition: fine Book Language/s: English.
