Product Description

This biography is the life story of Germany's most famous World War II air force officer, Adolf Galland. As a fighter ace, he became the youngest general in the Wehrmacht, whose combat career spanned the years from biplanes over Spain to the first operational jet fighters. His command position put him in perilously close contact with the leaders of the Third Reich. Over several years, General Galland has told his story - including much which for political reasons could not be said in his 1950s memoir, "The First and the Last" - to aerospace historian and writer, David Baker. The General has also opened his private photograph collection.
