Description

This unique book is a thrilling, minute-by-minute account of the greatest aerial missions as recalled by the top WW II aces of the RAF, USAAF and the Luftwaffe.

There is Douglas Bader, one of the best of the RAF fighter pilots despite two artificial legs; Adolf Galland of the Luftwaffe, who, subsequent to being shot down in France one morning, took off in another Messerschmitt that afternoon; another German ace, Hans-Joachim Marseille, the young "Pilot of Africa" who would steal into the British fighters' own formations to down several Hurricanes before the enemy could react; and Robert S. Johnson, the American who heroically defended Liberator and Flying Fortress formations.
