description: German air ace Oswald Boelcke was a national hero during World War I and was the youngest captain in the German air force decorated with the Pour Ie Merite while still only a lieutenant and with 40 aerial victories at the time of his death. This absorbing biography was written with the blessing of Boelckes family. Professor Werner was given access to his letters and other papers and presents here a rounded and fascinating portrait of a great airman and a remarkable soldier who became known as the father of the German Jagdflieger.
