German War Birds by 'Vigilant'

Description: German War Birds by 'Vigilant' 1994 (reprint of 1931 ed. w/new introduction by Norman Franks) "In these riveting accounts, Manfred von Richthofen, Max Immelmann, Oswald Boelcke, and other famous daredevil flyers are joined by lesser-known but equally resourceful colleagues such as Rudolf von Eschwege and Hans Schüz as they take part in furious battles in the sky—and close escapes on the ground when brought down on the wrong side of the lines.German War Birds contains some of the earliest information to appear after the war about air combat in the Middle East and Russia, as well as the Western Front, and about the significance of observation balloons as targets that were viciously attacked. The author focuses on the heart of the action and recreates the experiences of the airborne war with immediacy and excitement—drawing the reader into events as they happen."
