Overview

-- Personal memoir of Germany's famous WWII test-pilot
-- Vivid story of breakthroughs in WWII aviation
-- 16 pages of contemporary photographs

Hanna Reitsch flew almost every German military aircraft in World War II, including the rocket-powered Me 163, and was closely associated with the development of the flying bomb, the V1, which so nearly brought disaster to Britain just when it seemed that victory was in sight. Reitsch, who had left her medical studies to take up aviation before the war, held the world gliding record for women. With the outbreak of the war, however, her role became a military one and she was almost killed when she crash-landed the Me 163 on testing. In April 1945 she ran the gauntlet of Russian anti-aircraft fire to fly with Colonel-General von Greim into Berlin, where he had been summoned by Hitler to be appointed the new Chief of the German Air Staff. She gives a graphic and vivid account of her ensuing meetings with Hitler in the bunker.

Editorial Reviews

Cybermodeler.com
..an interesting look at the life of an accomplished pilot, test pilot, and witness of wartime Germany.
From The Critics
. . . detailed yet highly readable memoir...reflecting as it does her sheer exuberance in the joys of flying as well as providing insight into the plans of the Luftwaffe during the war.

    inside account of german aircraft during world war 2

    "the sky my kingdom" is a very fasinating bestseller and very hard to put down. what makes it so intresting is this is the memoirs writtion by the main test pilot for all the german aircraft so I got an inside account of what it was like to fly all of germanys top planes as well as their wonder weapons as well as the mistakes and the corrections. its always great to read about the planes from a fighter pilots eye view but this time I got to understand how things were from a test pilot not only that you got meet with some of the top air command generals and how the war was shaping up. gives a great perspective on the war as well as some of germanys top fighters.
