Synopsis "Day Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe: Knight's Cross Holders 1943-1945"

The second of two comprehensive directories of all the Luftwaffe's single-seater fighter pilots who were awarded the Knight's Cross during the Second World War.The German fighter pilots of the Second World War are among the undoubted heroes of the conflict, their reputation for flying skill, single-minded determination and solitary courage hasn't diminished or been clouded by controversy over the years. Their daring and commitment, often displayed when, towards the end of the war, they were fighting against the odds, matches that of any of the other air forces they fought against. This detailed, highly illustrated reference book, which covers the exploits of the most famous and successful individuals among them, shows just how effective and undaunted they were.All the Luftwaffe day fighter pilots who flew single-seater aircraft and won the Knight's Cross during the war are featured. The entries give information about their early lives and pre-war careers and record how many aircraft they shot down, the type of aircraft involved and where and when the combat took place. Included are accounts of particular actions which led to the award of the Knight's Cross, and the fate of these remarkable pilots later in the war and in the post-war world is described too.Jeremy Dixon's book will be fascinating reading and reference for anyone who is interested in the aviation history of the Second World War.
