I flew for the Fuhrer: The story of a German fighter pilot (Wings of war)

Heinz Knoke was one of Nazi Germany s outstanding pilots, and this dramatic record of his experiences, illustrated with personal photos, has become a classic among aviation memoirs. He joined the Luftwaffe at the outbreak of the war, rose to the rank of commanding officer, and received the Knight s Cross. Knoke s account crackles with vivid accounts of air battles; and captures his utter desolation at Germany s defeat.
