    About this ebook

    This is a rare day-to-day account by a young German squadron leader in Jagdstaffel 35 during the grim last year of the war. Originally published in 1933, it provides minute descriptions of kills, losses, and the Germans’ step-by-step retreat in the face of increasingly overwhelming Allied forces in the air.

    Brutally honest and vividly written, Stark’s account of the end-game of the Imperial German Army Air Service provides an intimate, front-row glimpse of the death-throes of a once feared corps. This book also contains reproductions of some of the author’s paintings depicting life on the Western Front.

      Brilliant. My only criticism is that there is an error whereby Fokker D.VIIIs are mentioned, instead of D.VIIs, in the middle of the book. Later the author refers to D.VIIIs in their correct chronological context. The comments on Pfalz D.XIIs are very enlightening! Mention of Sopwith Dolphins adds to one's knowledge.
