Here are the memoirs of two ace pilots who fought on opposite sides of the front in World War II: German - Hans-Ulrich Rudel and English - Guy Penrose Gibson. Both were bomber pilots and served throughout the war. The first is Hans-Ulrich Rudel, the only Luftwaffe pilot awarded the Golden Oak Leaves with Swords and Diamonds to the Knight's Cross. The second is Guy Penrose Gibson, holder of the Victoria Cross, the pilot who “drowned” Germany, commander of the famous 617th Sniper Squadron of Bomber Command. You will learn a lot about the life and everyday life of Royal Air Force and Luftwaffe pilots, about how German dive bombers and British heavy bombers operated, and you will understand why the “strange war” was called that way. The book will be of interest to both military history buffs and specialists.
