The Blond Knight of Germany
Our Price: $19.95
MSRP:$24.95
Here is the life story of the most successful fighter
pilot of all time, with 352 air combat victories - who spent ten and
a half years behind Soviet barbed wire, surviving prison uprisings,
hunger strikes, resistance against the NKVD and forced labor. After
being released he was still mentally and physically fit enough to
fly F-86 jet fighters in the post - World War II German Air Force.
This photo album presents the stages of his life - a man who wished
to become a doctor, but whose fate it was to become and remain a
soldier. If Erich Hartmann were "only" the most successful fighter
pilot of all time, that itself would be noteworthy. But its
uniqueness would no doubt fade with time. What makes Erich Hartmann
stand out from the crowd even by today's standards is that personal
integrity and unshakable character which helped him remain true to
his convictions while enduring merciless burdens, and the courage to
be tough when his convictions demanded it , over 560 b/w
photographs, 8 1/2" x 11"

| Fate is the Hunter |
|
Our Price: $14.00 |
|
|
This fascinating, well-told autobiography
is a complete refutation of the comfortable cliché that "man is master
of his fate." As far as pilots are concerned, fate (or death) is a
hunter who is constantly in pursuit of them....There is nothing
depressing about Fate Is the Hunter. There is tension and
suspense in it but there is great humor too. Happily, Gann never gets
too technical for the layman to understand.
