This is an extensive work with sections on the airmen, their aircraft and the manufacturers. There are also lists of victories and holders of the Pour Le Mérite, as well as brief historical backgrounds. There are 175 photographs. 

All the biographies that one would expect to see are included, but there are irritating errors – for example someone is ‘promoted to Freiherr’ and I feel this is an adequate starter book, which adds very little to what we already know. It has a rather splendid cover which may persuade your Auntie to buy it as a Christmas present.
