Zerstörer: A second world war air combat story
A WW2 aviation adventure featuring Luftwaffe pilot Kurt Gresler.
Oberleutnant Kurt Gresler is a fanatical Nazi, convinced of German racial superiority. A good fighter pilot, Kurt has fought in Spain, Poland and France but now must face the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the RAF.
In his, his Eisenseiten, Kurt must now fight the Polish pilots of an RAF Hurricane squadron as the Battle of Britian unfolds above London. Will the Messerschmitt Zerstörer prove successful, or has it finally met its match? Will Kurt survive the ensuing maelstrom? Will Hitler’s views of the third-rate Poles stand up to the reality test?

Excellent little short.
As enjoyable and well written as the author’s Bouncer’s (Gus Beaumont Aviation) series. Strong character, fast paced and with good action sequences. Well worth the quick read.

Muy simple e históricamente impreciso
Un cuento corto predecible y lleno de estereotipos. No lo recomiendo si le interesa la aviación durante la segunda guerra mundial.

Atrocious
A really unfair price for such a short book. It took about ten minutes to read the whole thing. Rubbish!
