Re: Guenther Rall's reminiscences in English!
Kevin, to answer your question about the contents: In the German version, prewar is taken care of within 20 pages, 185 pages WWII and 112 pages postwar. To this comes an appendix, showing a.o. all the units Günther Rall served with, with all the where and when's. Also all the types of a/c he flew (no, sorry, no Werknr. or Markings) and of course all the "kills", all 275 of them. Few a/c photos, more of himself and fellow pilots.
This book is, IMO, a very humane and humble biography of one of the best pilots in WWII and after. Perhaps there could have been more tactics, more dog fight descriptions, I don't know. I think in the end it's not that very important - here we have the memoirs of Günther Rall, a document of the hard times he lived in and how he coped with them. That's it!
I, for my part enjoyed the book immensely!
Greetings
Hans
