Synopsis

This book examines the camaraderie among World War II fighter pilots, particularly focusing on Luftwaffe ace Adolph Galland. The authors, known for their work on fighter aces, explore the perception of German pilots as sportsmen-patriots. The text critically analyzes the authors' potentially overcompensated efforts to re-evaluate their views of former enemies, suggesting a somewhat idealized portrayal of the Luftwaffe.
