“The First and the Last” Adolf Galland book

Unique book by Germany’s commander of fighter forces (November 1941 - January 1945) Adolf Galland. This book’s second name is “The rise and fall of the Luftwaffe:1939-45″.
It’s about everything - about secret fighter pilots trainings in Russia and Italy, it’s about first Luftwaffe combat experience and first aces born in the skies of Spain. It’s about airwar over Britain and allied bombers over Germany.
Besides, Adolf Galland was great enthusiast of the Me-262 jet fighter, so you will track its progress from first prototypes and take-offs to the only one really effective Me-262 fighter squadron, that Galland was able to create from pilot-aces in 1945.
This books doesn’t describe the situation on the Eastern battlefield, because Galland didn’t participate there, but it doesn’t affect on the book’s attraction at all. In addition to the situation in Luftwaffe, there is an overview of historical situation in German army and political situation in the world, so it will help to understand the nature of things which took their historical place (for example - why Me-262, really unique plane didn’t accomplish its historical mission and so on).
Galland is not trying to find excuses for the political and strategical mistakes made by German headquarter and by Adolf Hitler exactly. He is just showing things like they were from the fighter pilot and well-informed high positioned person’s point of view. And this is what makes this book really amazing.
Absolutely “must read” book with no doubts.
