The Blue Max by Jack D. Hunter
It is a gripping World War I aviation novel that follows Bruno Stachel, an ambitious German fighter pilot determined to earn the prestigious Blue Maxthe Empire's highest military decoration for aerial combat. Driven by an obsessive desire to escape his humble origins, Stachel will stop at nothing to achieve fame, even if it means betraying comrades, manipulating those around him and sacrificing his own humanity. Set against the brutal air war over the Western Front, the novel combines vivid aerial combat with a powerful psychological portrait of a deeply flawed antihero. Rather than glorifying war, it explores the corrosive effects of ambition, class divisions and moral compromise, making it one of the classic novels of First World War aviation. It was later adapted into the acclaimed 1966 film The Blue Max. Fair condition. Softcover, 18cm x 11cm, 280 pages.
