Fighter General: The Life of Adolf Galland

The most famous German Fighter ace & airman of his generation, Adolf Galland began WWII as a lieutenant & squadron commander, flying biplanes. He ended the war as a Lieutenant General & as a squadron commander flying Me-262 jets. In all of aviation history there is no comparable rise & fall of a fighter pilot. Galland's story is simultaneously that of the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm in which he served from foundation to finish. FIGHTER GENERAL is a vivid account of this dynamic combat leader torn from the cockpit, & forced by mighty events to defend his country-& sometimes his own pilots-in the bizarre bureaucracy of the Luftwaffe High Command. "The Luftwaffe produced many outstanding aces but only one Adolf Galland."--James H.
