Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'A comprehensive overview of how the Luftwaffe's air battle evolved from offensive to defensive and the lead-up to the bitter downfall.' Richard Overy Arnold Doering was just 23 years old when he flew his first mission against the Soviet Union on 21 June 1941. On that day he started writing his diary. His account not only describe the technical aspects and the difficulties posed by weather and terrain, but are also filled with suspense, with detailed descriptions of bombing raids and narrow escapes from enemy fighter planes. With detached professionalism, Doering offers us thrilling, action-packed snapshots of life as a Luftwaffe pilot. This volume of the diaries, translated into English for the first time, covers the period from August 1943 to May 1945, when the author was flying sorties as a nightfighter, including Operation Gisela, the largest and final operation of the Luftwaffe against the Allies. Despite experiencing crash-landings, near misses, terrifying night missions and precarious flights with too little fuel and under-trained crew, Doering survived through his skill and instincts, as well as a fair amount of luck.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'Suddenly, flash bombs to my right, I instantly dive low to avoid being a direct target. We stay down, close above ground before too long life returns in the area and we spot men milling around; Richard and Pitt let them have it, but good. We're down to our last bit of ammunition. Some Russians have frozen in fear, others lift their arm, others still lie flat on the ground. Not a single one remembers to get up and fire.' On 21 June 1941, assigned to Luftwaffe bomber wing Kampfgeschwader 53, the 23-year-old Arnold Doering took off to fly his first mission against the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. From that day, he kept a diary describing his operations in vivid detail. These diaries, here translated into English for the first time, give a unique perspective on the action on the Eastern Front, from the point of view of a bomber pilot. Doering's accounts not only give technical aspects but are also filled with suspense and excitement with their close descriptions of bombing raids and narrow escapes from enemy fighter planes. This unembellished account gives an honest and meticulous record that moves rapidly from one area to another, from one operation to the next. With a detached professionalism, Doering offers us thrilling, action-packed snapshots of life as a Luftwaffe nightfighter. Doering flew a total of 392 aerial attacks and was awarded the Knight's Cross in April 1945. Thomas Baumert is Professor of Economics at the Complutense University of Madrid.

He subsequently got to know several Luftwaffe veterans who shared their war and peacetime experiences with him. In 2016 he edited the Spanish translation of Peter Spoden's nightfighter memories Enemy in the Dark.
