Re: Gerd Gaiser-German Post war author
To my knowledge, he served in the ground staff of a Jagdgeschwader. His most popular book, 'The Dying Chase', appeared in the early 1950s and deals with a fighter unit of the Reichsverteidigung in mid-1944. I came across an extract of it in my German schoolbook in 1972, and it became one of my favorite reads til today. I don't think he ever flew missions in WW II, but seems to have captured the spirit and attitude of those day's fighter pilots and their environment. At least, that's what some of the survivors say.
