Description
Inspired by the success of Richthofen's JG I, the German High Command formed Jagdgeschwader II in preparation for the approaching March 1918 offensive.
( … ) The Geschwader really hit its stride under its second commander, Rudolf Berthold - the dedicated and often - wounded " Iron Knight ". After struggling with inadequate supplies of aircraft and matériel, the veteran pilots of the Geschwader would go on to enjoy incredible successes against French and American opponents in September 1918. This volume reveals the esprit de corps the German airmen displayed in their struggles against superior numbers up to the war's final grim days.
