4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth looking for, should be reprinted,
By robbieandrose (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horrido! (Paperback)
Quiet comprehensive look at nearly all the top aces of the Luftwaffe. It has long sections on Rall, Barkhorn and especially Marseille and Hartman as well as a long chapter on the amazing night fighter aces. The personal remembrances of these pilots who were interviewed for this book in the 1960s when it was first published are priceless. The first part of the book is slow but worth getting through. The appendix has a large list of hundreds and hundreds of fighter aces and the units they served in. Essential reading for those interested in the Luftwaffe.

my review,
By albert (WI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horrido (Hardcover)
I WAS A P-38 fighter pilot ww2 15th A/F.i am curious about this book because i have read both versions, the paper back and the hard cover of Fighter aces of the luftwaffe. I am looking for the soft cover version of this book, is this book forsale here the soft or hard covered version? i have read both books, i found the soft covered one more historically accurate, and the later book(hard covered) to be more watered down to fact and more picture orientated.

This review is from: Horrido! (Paperback)
Understanding the title is the clue to the book. It is the name exclaimed by those who have shot down a plane which required documentation by sources other than the pilot. THe men and their stories are both fascinating and worthy of any war story. These men of the German Luftwaffe were truly heroes and men of steel. They served with valor and patriotism, although misplaced they worked harder than any other service in the military. They were only taken out of service by injury or death. This is unlike the American pilots who were for the most part taken out of flight service after a very few number of mission. The book is both a wonderful read and a view into lifes that should not be forgotten.
