Softback 196 pages Published Price £12.99 The third concluding volume of German aerial observer Haupt Heydemarckâs Great War flying memoirs sees him transferred from the familiar skies over the Western Front, to the Macedonian theatre of war in the Balkans. Heydemarck made the move after the death of his long term pilot partner âTakeâ Engemann in 1916. Promoted to command a forward Staffel (squadron) Heydemarckâs writing loses none of its freshness. His account of his adventures flying against the British with inferior aircraft is spiced with admiring anecdotes about his own Commandeer - air ace Rudolf von Eschwege. Like his previous two volumes, the book is liberally illustrated with photographs taken by Heydemarck as part of his combat duties.

Softback 178 pagesPublished Price £12.99 This second volume in German Great War flyer Haupt Heydemarckâs trilogy of aerial memoirs gives us all the hazards and hopes of his job as an aerial observer written with humour and panache. The book is illustrated with many photographs - several taken by the author himself as part of his observation duties. Heydemarckâs jaunty style is written against a background of bleakness: the mortality rate among his comrades was phenomenally high.

Softback 207 pagesPublished Price £12.99 Author Captain Haupt Heydemarck was a German Great War aerial observer who based his trilogy of books - of which this is the opening volume - on Western Front combat reports from 1915, written at the time when he was flying fighting patrols against the French. Eminently readable, Heydemarckâs account of flying with his pilot partner âTakeâ Engmann gives a lively account of the often hair-raising incidents in the early days of combat flying - such as freezing bombs caught in their release mechanism; machine guns that jam in the cold; blinding searchlights at night; anti-aircraft fire by day; and French fighters. Heydemarck copes with all this while doing his observer's job, (jotting down observations, taking reconnaissance photographs, a number of which are reproduced in the book) fitting in his dual role as a navigator into the bargain.
