Adolf Galland began World War II in Poland, as a lieutenant and
squadron commander, flying obsolescent biplanes. He ended the war
as a Lieutenant General a and was again a squadron commander a this
time flying Me 262 jet fighters. In all of aviation history there
is no comparable rise and fall by a fighter pilot. The most famous
German ace and fighter leader of his generation, Galland's story is
simultaneously that of the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm, in which he
served from foundation to finish. Fighter General recounts the
career of an outstanding combat leader torn from the fighter
cockpit to defend his country a and sometimes his own pilots a in
the bizarre bureaucracy of the Luftwaffe High Command. Galland's
battles against the Allied air forces, both as a general and in
individual combat, hold no less drama than his head-on battles with
Goering and Hitler. Galland's triumphs and tragedies, his friends
and his flames, his humor and heartaches pulse anew in Fighter
General. Here in this official biography is real-life adventure to
shame the wildest fiction.

ever published on American fighter aces, and includes dozens of
aces\ combat accounts, plus capsule biographies. Evolution of
aircraft, tactics and armament is seen through the eyes of the 1400
elite Americans who earned the coveted title "Ace." Comprehensive
revisions and updates to this new edition include the most complete
statistics of American aces ever published, and is fully current to

presents eyebrow-raising facts on enemy aces who fought Americans
in all wars and theatres. Lists include names and scores, plus
intriguing data on Soviet Air Force aces who battled USAF aces over
Korea. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photos, this book is a
must reference for every historian and "buff\s" bookshelf.
