Oswald Boelcke : Deutschlands Erstes Flieger-Ass und Grosster Luftkampf-Pioneer (Paperback)

This biography is about a famous German aviator early in World War I: Oswald Boelcke. He was the first German Ace, had 40 victories, was the mentor, instructor and squadron commander of the Red Baron. He was famous for being a humane flier, spending many of his off-duty hours visiting the men he had shot down in hospital or POW camps. He was never shot down, but died in 1916 in a mid-air collision. His legacy lives on in the Luftwaffe, Germany, Europe and around the world.
