LCCN 54010520 OCLC 6417275 LC D787 .G313 Dewey 940.544943 ; Adolf Galland joined the Lufwaffe in 1938 and by the summer of 1940 was commander of a squadron of ME-109's during the crucial six weeks when german air power sought - and failed - to crush Allied fighter resistance in the Battle of Britain. A determined and aggressive pilot Galland had accounted for more than 70 kills by the end of 1941 and was moved up to become Commander of the Fighter Arm responsible only to Göring and Hitler. This is his story of Germany's air war - of the early triumphs of the desperate battle to defend the Reich and of the fantastic series of blunders and misconceptions that cost Germany victory in the air. ; name on title page ; remains of marks on front endpaper ; else FINE/FINE Henry Holt, New York, [1954], 1955 hardcover
