Autobiography of Hanna Reitsch, exceptional glider and military test pilot during the Third Reich. Though the text is sketchy - Hanna even neglects to tell us when she was born, there are fine passages which give the reader a intimate idea of what it is like to fly. Hanna also provides some insight into why Hitler rose to power, interesting comments on Himmler, and rational for her advocation of suicide missions - the Morganthau Plan being one incentive. She left much out but it remains fine reading. B/W photos.
