Description

Erich Sommer's memoir offers a unique perspective on life in pre-war Germany and his experiences as a Luftwaffe pilot during World War II. Born into an uncertain atmosphere following the First World War, Erich recounts how he navigated his way through the changing landscape of 1930s Europe.

From training as a brewery engineer to serving with the Luftwaffe's first pathfinding unit and later flying radar-equipped Ju 88s on the Russian Front, Erich's story is one of adventure and survival. With a detailed introduction from acclaimed historian J. Richard Smith, this memoir provides a fascinating insight into the life of an exceptional pilot and navigator.

Illustrated with photographs from private family albums, Luftwaffe Eagle offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Luftwaffe airman during World War II. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in aviation history or the experiences of those who served during this period.
