What is Hermann Göring, Fighter Ace: The World War I Career of Germany’s Most Infamous Airman about?
Over the last 70 years, in countless books and essays, Hermann G?ring has been defined by his crimes and excess during the Third Reich and the Second World War. But his activities as a young career military officer in World War I have invariably been glossed over – until now. Hermann G?ring – Fighter Ace is the first in-depth look at G?ring’s role as a military flyer and air combat leader from 1914 through the end of The Great War, and how those experiences shaped the personality that came to the world’s attention in 1939. At the outset of the First World War, G?ring was eager to prove his value to his fatherland in initial skirmishes with French troops. When struck by severe rheumatoid arthritis in September 1914, the twenty-one-year-old officer’s burning ambition and ego could not tolerate being sidelined and the following month he forced himself out of a sick bed to begin a new career as an aviation observer.
