MESSERSCHMITTS OVER SICILY: A Luftwaffe Ace Fighting the Allies & Goering

German air ace’s memoirs giving gripping accounts of his actions during the 1943 allied invasion of Sicily - as well as the intrigues and plotting within the higher echelons of the Luftwaffe against both Goering and Hitler.

Johannes Steinhoff was one of the Luftwaffe’s greatest air aces. In these astounding memoirs, he recounts gripping espacades from his wartime career - including his part in the defence of Sicily before and after the Allied landings in 1943. There are sections on the technology and operational life of the Nazi air arm, as well as intimate and indiscreet accounts of the fatal falling out of the Fuehrer’s favour of Goering, the Luftwaffe’s overlord, who blamed his fall from Hitler’s grace on the ‘cowardice’ of his pilots. Steinhoff also recounts the plots within the senior ranks of the air force to depose their brutish leader. An exciting and action packed of the rise and fall of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
