Without question, the best book about Germany's war in the air during WW II. The incredible saga is told by the Luftwaffe's commander of fighter forces himself. Adolf Galland was a legendary hero,an air ace with 104 victories and a dauntless leader of other men. This is his own story of Germany's war in the air, from the smashing victories in Poland and France to the last desperate battle to save the Reich. A MUST READ for any WW II buff.
