vasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin. Assigned to the
Eastern front, Rudel flew many sorties a day
in all
kinds of weather, supporting the German army
in
Russia. His targets were Russian tanks, truck con­
voys, artillery batteries--once even a Russian battle­
ship. His method of attack was to dive almost verti­
cally from a height of four or five thousand feet
through a hail of flak, dropping his bomb at the last
possible instant and escaping at treetop level. This
was flying of the most dangerous kind, but Rudel
loved it. His record of
2,530
operational flights
is
unequaled by any other pilot in the world.
STUKA
PILOT is Rudel's own story of more
than
five years of combat flying-an eyewitness report on
the gigantic Russian battleground from Moscow to
Stalingrad, and a close-up picture of Himler, Goering,
Hitler and other German leaders he came to know.

The disappearance of the Stuka plane after the fall of
France
led many observers to believe. that

day of
the dive-bomber was past. This is not true. Though
too slow to compete against new;

JU-87
was still
a
terrifying weapon, able to deliver
a
knock-out punch in support of ground troops.
