Kaufmann's career appears to be one of great excitement. Although he was an ordinary Luftwaffe pilot, he served his role during a very memorable period of history.

This memoir sheds light on the critical pressures of the job through times of both peace and war.

This rare translation of an account of life in the Luftwaffe takes us along Kaufmann's experience in the annexation of the Rhineland to fighting deadly bombers in the Defence of the Reich campaign.

This account also details the momentous historical battles of Arnhem, the Ardennes and the D-Day landings.

'I realised that this brief but abortive sortie was to be the final mission of my Luftwaffe flying career' - Johannas Kaufmann stated, regarding the creation of his memoir.
