"Fighter Aces of World War Two" pays tribute to the most famous and skilled fighter pilots of that conflict. From Erich Hartmann (Luftwaffe)history's most successful fighter aceto the Briton Douglas Bader, the American Richard Bong, the Japanese pilot Saburo Sakai, and the Russian Lydia Litvyak, the stories of these aces illustrate how individual skill and daring could make the decisive difference amidst the vast machinery of total war. This volume combines accounts of aerial combat, pilot profiles, analyses of aircraft types, and striking imagery to bring to life the extraordinary men and women whose exploits became legendary. Authored by military historian Mike Haskew, the work offers both a compelling human narrative and a well-grounded historical account.
