Over the years much has been written about Luftwaffe aces, but this book seeks to examine the lives of the ordinary men who took to the skies.
These men all shared the same “aggressive spirit, joy of action and the passion of a hunter.” Rich with fascinating first-hand accounts exploring every step of the fighter pilot’s career from his enlistment and intensive training to his exploits in the Battle of Britain and on the Eastern Front, this book is an invaluable insight into the life of a Luftwaffe fighter pilot.
Robert Stedman has collected Great War and Second World War militaria for over 25 years. He is a regular contributor to international militaria magazines and occasionally works as a military advisor to TV, film and theatre.
Karl Kopinski is an experienced illustrator who has worked in a number of formats. This is his first project for Osprey Publishing. He lives in Nottingham, UK.
