Perhaps no other individual had the insight of Luftwaffe
in WWII, better than Adolf Galland. He not only
participated important campaigns of Luftwaffe in Spanish
Civil War to The Battle of Britain but also rose the the
rank of Inspector of Luftwaffe Fighter Arm which brought
him close to the highest circles of The Third Reich.
In this book, not surprisingly, the air war over Europe
is viewed from German point of view. However, Galland,
fully aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Luftwaffe,
gives objective look at the victories and defeats.
Readers will witness The Battle of Britain from cockpit
and Channel Dash from the operation room through
Galland's eyes. Stories inside this book can easily put a
Hollywood Script writer in shame and they were all real.
Perhaps more interesting is the arguments taken place
with Hitler and Goering, for taking fateful decisions for
Luftwaffe.
Highly recommended, no WWII aviation library will be
complete without one.
