The other books by the author are all over the place. A bad sign.

Oi, that's certainly an eccentric collection of persons to write about; I mean, Hartmann and Barkhorn but Magellan, Wallenberg, Miyamoto Mushashi and 'Flo-Jo'?

Why such a bad cover? Why not a real photograph of Barkhorn instead of this non-sense airman without a LW Eagle on the uniform who not here or on Mars looks like Barkhorn. If someone passed his eyes throughout the contents, please do give us a review.

You have another one with Hartmann. Same bullshit.

I would like to know if there is any new information about (or from) Barkhorn. I am not going to waste money on a book that just is a rewrite of the same old trivia.

I worked under Barkhorn in the late 60'ies and was quite impressed by him. He was a no nonsense officer who dared to think along new lines. He showed up in an old orange pilot suit the first time I saw him. Everybody thought that he was just an old Oberfeldwebel and ignored him which gave him a chance to see how his new unit worked.

Yikes! I bet they were surprised when they found out who he was.

Guess I'll stick to the one I have: "Das vergessene As" written by Bernd Barbas and published by Luftverlag Start.
