The First and the LastGalland, Adolf
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
-- Story of a German WWII fighter ace -- Firsthand account of action in the air -- Combat adventure and everyday life in the Luftwaffe Heinz Knoke was one of the outstanding German fighter pilots of World War II and this vivid firsthand record of his experiences has become a classic among aviation memoirs, a best-selling counterbalance to the numerous accounts written by Allied pilots. Knoke joined the Luftwaffe on the outbreak of war and eventually became commanding officer of a fighter wing. An outstandingly brave and skillful fighter, he logged more than 2,000 flights and shot down 52 enemy aircraft. He had flown more than 400 operational missions before being crippled by wounds in an astonishing "last stand" toward the end of the war. In a postscript for this edition, Heinz Knoke writes of the struggle to survive after the war in Germany and his building of a new life. Now that the Berlin Wall has been torn down, his memoirs are set in a new perspective and prove both a valuable contribution to aviation literature and a moving human story.
