The author has put together a compendium of short synopsis of the operational careers of those German aircrew who were awarded the Knight’s Cross (Ritterkreuz) during the first full year of the war. Each recipient has been researched in detail and, in a majority of cases, numerous photos have been provided related to their careers. The book is presented in chronological order by month with a series of useful appendices outlining recipients by role. A quick read, with a high quality publication value from the publisher; the author has undertaken a prodigious amount of research in putting this work together. An interesting read.
