About this title

Synopsis

Action-packed memoir of aerial combat

Inside the cockpits of Bf 109, Fw 190, and Me 262 fighters

Candid photos taken by the author himself
Norbert Hanning remembers an attack on a Soviet bomber: "I side-slipped down towards his tail, got in close behind him, and aimed at his two starboard engines. Pieces flew off his wing as my shells struck home. Bright flames streamed from his engines . . . an inferno erupted as his wing tanks went up."
