In this action-packed memoir of aerial combat in World War II, Norbert Hannig remembers what it was like to fly with the German Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front: the high-altitude drama of closing in on a Soviet bomber, the thrill of watching his rounds hit home and burst the enemy into flames, the excitement of landing unscathed. During his impressive career, Hannig flew the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters and the Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first jet fighter.

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."
