520    Over the last 70 years, in countless books and essays, 
       Hermann Göring has been defined by his crimes and 
       excess during the Third Reich and the Second World War.  
       But his activities as a young career military officer in 
       World War I have invariably been glossed over – 
       until now.  'Hermann Göring – Fighter Ace' is 
       the first in-depth look at Göring’s role as a 
       military flyer and air combat leader from 1914 through the
       end of The Great War, and how those experiences shaped the
       personality that came to the world’s attention in 
       1939.At the outset of the First World War, Göring was
       eager to prove his value to his fatherland in initial 
       skirmishes with French troops.  When struck by severe 
       rheumatoid arthritis in September 1914, the twenty-one-
       year-old officer’s burning ambition and ego could 
       not tolerate being sidelined and the following month he 
       forced himself out of a sick bed to begin a new career as 
       an aviation observer.  Göring went on to become a 
       fighter pilot with twenty-two downed enemy aircraft to his
       credit, the last wartime commander of the Red Baron&
       rsquo;s own fighter wing, Jagdgeschwader Richthofen, and 
       recipient of a row of prestigious medals including Prussia
       ’s highest bravery award, the Pour le M&
       eacute;rite.Peter Kilduff has produced a landmark volume 
       based on extensive research into Göring’s early
       military records and thousands of German and Allied 
       documents to put the neophyte airman’s life and 
       events into perspective.  Among other resources, Kilduff 
       drew on Göring’s own combat reports and related
       writings.Illustrated with over eighty drawings and 
       photographs, including many from Goring’s private 
       collection and never before published, Herman Göring 
       – Fighter Ace is a tour de force of historical 
       material covering the early combat career of one of the 
       Twentieth Century’s most infamous military figures. 
       Peter Kilduff is an acclaimed American historian and the 
       author of thirteen aviation books covering biplanes to 
       jets, including 2009’s Black Fokker Leader which was
       also published by Grub Street. [Elib]
