Wings Of War: An Airman's Diary Of The Last Year Of The War (Vintage Aviation)

This is a rare day-to-day account by a young German squadron leader in Jagdstaffel 35 during the grim last year of the war. Originally published in 1933, it provides minute descriptions of kills, losses, and the Germans’ step-by-step retreat in the face of increasingly overwhelming Allied forces in the air.Brutally honest and vividly written, Stark’s account of the end-game of the Imperial German Army Air Service provides an intimate, front-row glimpse of the death-throes of a once feared corps. This book also contains reproductions of some of the author’s paintings depicting life on the Western Front.REVIEWS joins Casemate’s Vintage Aviation Series of notable World War I aviation works for modern readers...a work of depth and insight, illustrated with the author’s own photographs and paintings from a cockpit perspective. Stark was a gifted artist and a painting in the book looks familiar because it appeared in color on the cover of the Autumn 2002 issue of Over the Front. League members are highly encouraged to read this classic of aviation history literatureOvert The Front Autumn 2015
