Royal Prussian Jagdgeschwader Nr III was the third of Germany's
vaunted fighter wings to be formed during World War 1. Commanded by
the Pour le Merite winner and well-respected ace Hauptmann Bruno
Loerzer for its entire existence, it was composed of the celebrated
Jasta 'Boelcke', along with Jagdstaffeln 26, 27 and 36. Equipped
largely with the new Fokker triplane, these four units would play
an important role in the Kaiserschlacht as part of the 17. Armee.
As Germany's fortunes waned in the summer of 1918, the aces of JG
III nonetheless did their best to stem the tides of British, French
and later American aircraft they encountered. Aces such as Carl
Bolle, Paul Baumer, Heinrich Bongartz, Hermann Frommherz, Rudolf
Klimke and the infamous Hermann Goering all carved their names in
the record books flying in this formidable formation. This book
examines the tactics, achievements and personalities of one of the
deadliest of Germany's aerial units.
