À propos de cet audio
Heinz Knoke was one of the outstanding German fighter pilots of the Second World War. This vivid firsthand record of his experiences has become a classic among aviation memoirs and is a fascinating counterbalance to the numerous accounts written by Allied pilots.
Knoke joined the Luftwaffe on the outbreak of war, and eventually became commanding officer of a fighter wing. An outstandingly brave and skillful fighter, he logged over 2,000 flights and shot down 52 enemy aircraft. He had flown over 400 operational missions before being wounded in an astonishing "last stand" toward the end of the war. He was awarded the Knight's Cross for his achievements. In a book that reveals his intense patriotism and discipline, he describes being brought up in the strict Prussian tradition, the rise of the Nazi regime, and his own wartime career set against a fascinating study of everyday life in the Luftwaffe. He also reveals the high morale of the force until its disintegration. His memoirs are both a valuable contribution to aviation literature and a moving human story.

Two sides to every coin
Though it covers the years from 1939-1945 quite quickly compared to some of the more heavily researched and detailed books on the allied air war, this book is an amazing look at a skilled German fighter pilot who’s survival is incredible. Shot down numerous times and wounded seriously more than 5, the fact that he lived long enough to write this book is amazing.

An insight into a different time and place
As a youth enthralled by his ascending country this pilot transforms from the new kid to the ‘old man’ yet keeps his idealism, misguided or not.
I read this book 50 years ago as a teen. I enjoyed it just as much listening as a senior.
