Das vergessene As: Der Jagdflieger Gerhard Barkhorn (The Forgotten Ace: The Fighter Pilot Gerhard Barkhorn) is a comprehensive account of Barkhorn's military career in the German Luftwaffe during World War II and his postwar service with the Bundesluftwaffe in West Germany, which spanned from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s. The book has plenty of photos (black & white and color), maps, and illustrations encompassing Barkhorn's wartime and postwar military service. Any aviation and model airplane kit enthusiast will be thrilled with this book, which has text in both German and English.
Barkhorn (1919-1983) was one of only 2 fighter pilots in the history of warfare to be credited with shooting down at least 300 enemy aircraft in aerial combat.
