    GOTTFRIED LESKE. [EDITED by CURT RIESS].
    I WAS A NAZI FLIER
    NY: The Dial Press.
    First edition.
    1941.
    351 pages. 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch hardcover, orange cloth cover.
    Very good condition, some fading to the cloth cover. All pages intact. No writing. It probably had a dust jacket when it was purchased.
    This diary by a captured German Heinkel 111 bomber crewman was
    published in 1941 as a propaganda piece – to show what a cruel and implacable enemy the Nazis were. Translated with most of the names changed for fictional ones. It really was the diary of a Luftwaffe Kampflieger Flight Sergeant. It was published just before the US entered the war. A fascinating  historical read.
