The German Fighter Force in World War II by Adolph Galland, Accompanied by Book Two: Adolph Galland - A Pilots Life In War and Peace by Werner Held. Mesa, AZ: Champlin Museum Press, 1986. Limited Edition. Set number 142 of 1000 numbered copies, each volume signed by the author, former German fighter ace and airman, General Adolph Galland, on the color frontispieces. Illustrated. Fine bright set. The fascinating story of Adolph Galland’s experiences during World War II as a gifted and dedicated fighter ace and one of the principle architects of the German Luftwaffe, detailing its rise and decline, with much information about the inner workings of the German military strategy. Each book bound in blue gilt-stamped leather enclosed in a matching full cloth slipcase.

Galland’s The First and the Last is considered one of the finest landmarks of World War II literature.
