A propos de cet article

Softback, 256 pagesPublished Price £14.99 Above the mud and misery of the First World War trenches, the battle in the air between the first primitive aircraft and the intrepid aviators who flew them was played out like a medieval knightly tournament. This deadly contest is brought evocatively to light in this remarkable memoir of Ernst Udet, the German 'ace of aces', whose wartime record was second only to the legendary 'Red Baron'. Writing in a jaunty, Boy's Own style, Udet captures what many young pilots felt as they flew off each day to duel with th enemy, the elements and an unreliable technology. Udet also recalls the many scrapes he experienced while flying for a living. After the war he became a stunt pilot, light aircraft manufacturer, star of the silver screen and playboy.

In 1941, disillusioned and depressed, he shot himself. On the wall before he died he scrawled a message for Gà ring: 'Iron man, you have betrayed me'.The new edition of this aviation classic contains an introduction by Professor Richard Overy which examines the man behind the memoirs.…
