Fighter General: The Life of Adolf Galland, the Official Biography

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book
Review: A very fascinating and interesting book. From the time he grew up in Westerholt, Germany and entered the Luftwaffe, and his activities after the war, was very descriptive and very easy to read. It did not become bogged down with non essential details that tend to make biographies difficult to read. I would recommend this book to anyone

Rating:
Summary: A pleasant and informative read.
Review: As someone who knew the late Adolf Galland and the authors, this book is a most honest representation of his life in both war and peace. The importance of his strife, both in the air and on the ground with Hitler and Goering, as well as his post war success are inspiring. A book that should be read by all who enjoy reading about the human experience.

Summary: Review of Adolf Galland's biography "Fighter General"
Review: I thought it was an excellent book for the reader who wants a more indepth study of Adolf Galland than can be found in the many books about the Luftwaffe. The authors do an excellent job of covering Galland's legendary life through the conclusion of WWII including printing many interesting and never before published photograghs of people, places, and planes that impacted this Luftwaffe legend. The many personal antecdotes from Galland and his fighter pilot associates and friends make for entertaining reading. The only down-side to the book is the relatively scant (compared to the war years) coverage of his life after WWII inspite of the fact that he lived until 1996. Overall, I enjoyed the book very much and would recommend it to anyone.
