Adolf Galland: The Authorized Biography David Baker

[David N]

I bought the book when published in 1996 and still have it. I agree that it is a good read. A theme is that much more was known than in 1953 when "The First and The Last" was first published.

On pages 228-230, there is an interesting discussion of fear and how to control it, along with pasychological tests for fighter pilots. Galland felt that pilots who cease to experience fear no longer understand what they are doing.

Overall, the book is worth reading for anyone interested in the subject.
