Never before has the fury of aerial duels at six hundred kilometers per hour, the agony in the flames or the deadly anti-aircraft fire of the German Flak been evoked in this way.
These texts, written in the heat of the day after the missions, take the reader inside the cockpit of a fighter plane. Victories, defeats, losses of friends and bloody explosions in the air. Those dawns at thousands of meters of altitude, during hundreds of cold mornings, always with the anguishing doubt of knowing if that day would be the last.
Considered one of the best memoirs about a fighter pilot, El Gran Espectáculo is also a deeply human testimony of the virtues and feelings that war often exposes: fear, courage, esteem for the adversary, disgust at the horrors of bombing, the value of friendship, self-sacrifice, etc.
