Ace of the Black Cross : the memoirs of Ernst Udet

Udet, Ernst, 1896-19412013
Books
Above the mud and misery of the trenches in the First World War, another contest was played out - the battle in the air. This is brought to light in the memoirs of Ernst Udet, the German 'ace of aces', whose impressive wartime record was second only to the legendary 'Red Baron'. He paints a romantic picture of his experiences, but also illustrates the way in which war left a young generation rootless and restless.
