This book tells the story of a German night fighter pilot during World War II. The autobiography of Peter Spoden provides insight into his childhood and upbringing; as well as detailing his wartime and post- war career; and the part he played in the short but remarkable history of the Nachtjagd. The shortcomings in the Luftwaffe’s night time defences became all too apparent when Bomber Command; having sustained appalling losses during the day; switched to night attacks. Over the next five years; in the night skies of Europe; there followed a life and death struggle between the aircrews of the Nachtjagd and Bomber Command.

She is an icon in my life coming of age (in my late 20's) in Mississippi. Reading the story of this remarkable person carries me back to those years and is an honoring of her life and gifts.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
