Description

November 1918: Defeated and facing internal leftist uprisings and encroachments on its eastern borders, Germany quickly rebuilt its broken army with volunteers and paramilitary units, known as Freikorps. Among them were over sixty tactical aviation units, equipped with the latest aircraft, flown by veteran WWI aircrews. Rarely mentioned in histories and nearly forgotten today, this volunteer air force served with distinction within Germany, on the Polish border, and in the Baltics until the spring of 1920. With the Allied powers slashing their air arms to peacetime strength, it was arguably the most powerful air force in the world. With this account, Last Gathering of Eagles restores it and its men to their place in history. Supported by over 175 photos, 34 aircraft profiles, and 15 maps and charts in its 318 pages, it is the definitive work on Germany's post-Armistice military aviation. Its seven appendixes include detailed summaries of every flying unit and a roster of over 1000 men known to have served with them.
