Heinz Knoke was one of the outstanding German fighter pilots of the Second World War. This vivid firsthand record of his experiences has become a classic among aviation memoirs and is a fascinating counterbalance to the numerous accounts written by Allied pilots.

Knoke joined the Luftwaffe on the outbreak of war, and eventually became commanding officer of a fighter wing. An outstandingly brave and skillful fighter, he logged over 2,000 flights and shot down 52 enemy aircraft. He had flown over 400 operational missions before being wounded in an astonishing "last stand" toward the end of the war. He was awarded the Knight's Cross for his achievements. In a book that reveals his intense patriotism and discipline, he describes being brought up in the strict Prussian tradition, the rise of the Nazi regime, and his own wartime career set against a fascinating study of everyday life in the Luftwaffe. He also reveals the high morale of the force until its disintegration. His memoirs are both a valuable contribution to aviation literature and a moving human story.

Very interesting thoughts at the end of this book from it's, author.

How any indavidual could survive and continue to fight through so much adversity is quite incredible!

Well worth listening too and gives a different look through the eyes of the foe. Or vanquished, depending on the side your on.

One things for sure. We never learn.

Another Brilliant WW2 book.

Be patient with it. The early years chapters, the first two or so are not as good as the rest. In all - a brilliant listen.

Refreshing to hear from a German pilot for a change. The honor and respect between airman is mentioned on numerous occasions.

Brave young men whichever side they flew for.
