Reader Reviews:
Very interesting view of the other side. (6/6 people found this helpful)
I, too, was very impressed by this book. The author's integrity and honesty shine through as do his achievements at a very young age. I find it remarkable how very much his story is like the stories of the young RAF pilots on the English side of the Channel. An excellent read.
Detailed, authentic account of Luftwaffe and German life (25/26 people found this helpful)
A well-written and detailed description of the authors young life and rise into the Luftwaffe and an interesting insight into the thinking in pre-war Germany and the conditions in the army at that time. A must for anyone interested in WWII or the Battle of Britain but a very good read simply for the human interest and adventure as well.
