Author Description

In addition to a detailed description of the facts relating to the history of this prestigious Wing of the Luftwaffe, this book presents numerous testimonies of survivors or documents ( such as letters, war diaries... ) written by pilots missing in action. This book also shows that even though they flew planes carrying swastikas or black crosses their concerns differed little from those of their opponents. Opponents who met them, it was not uncommon, in fact, off again at the end of the mission to try to locate the enemy defeated in the English Channel to send relief.
