Lieutenant Der Reserve Werner Voss and the Pilots of Jasta 10

'Lieutenant der Reserve Werner Voss and the Pilots of Jasta 10' is 480 pages, 8.5x11, has 2-300 b/w photographs (many never published before), Artist color paintings, Artist b/w pencil drawings (many never published before) of a WW1 German Fighter Pilot - 4th on the list of 20 of top GAF Aces. The book is broken down into 19 chapters, 2 Appendixes with other views of how Werner was shot down and a large reference file. Werner Voss was 20 years old when he took on 9 of Britain's top aces for 10 minutes. The book is as historically accurate as current information allows. In addition, there are tidbits of information concerning men he knew and associated with (i.e. Anthony Fokker; Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen; Ltn.d. R. Paul Wilhelm Bäumer; Ltn.d. R Konstantin Krefft; Obltn. Erwin Böhme; Obltn. Karl-Heinrich Bodenschatz; Obltn. d. R. Guido Ludwig Scheffer; Ltn.d. R. Willi Rosenstein; Ltn. Karl-Emil Schaefer; Ltn. Wilhelm Prien;  Ltn. Baron Carl-August von Schönebeck; Ltn. Gerhard Fieseler; and Ltn. Rolf Freiherr von Lersner.)

Here are some parting words from the men he flew against and was associated with:

- "I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes . . ."His flying was wonderful, his courage magnificent and in my opinion he is the bravest German airman whom it has been my privilege to see fight." - Capt. James B. McCudden, V. C., DSO and Bar, M. C. and Bar, M. M.
- "Oh, if I could only have brought him down alive..." "He was equally a brave man and brilliant pilot and had the devils luck in not being killed three times instead of once..." "I take my hat off to Voss, he was the bravest fellow and the best scrapper I have ever met..." - Arthur Rhys Davids, DSO, MC and Bar.
- The only Germans he (Major Edward Corringham "Mick" Mannock, V. C., D. S. O., M. C., (R. F. C) ever admired for their skill as pilots were Hptm Boelcke and Ltn d. R. Werner Voss.
- Manfred von Richthofen once described Werner Voss as "my most redoubtable competitor".

What could be a more resounding confirmation of the abilities of Werner Voss than that?
