The Flowers of the Grass: 2. Austria’s worm-eaten galleon (English Edition)

January 2016: Franz Becker, having left the trenches for the Imperial German Air Service, qualifies as a pilot. He is posted to the Russian front, where the Austro-Hungarian Army is crumbling and only holds on with German help. Franz's closest friend, Karl von Leussow, is now a senior NCO in an elite Brandenburg regiment, and finds himself in the carnage at Verdun.

Franz's ambition is to become a fighter pilot, but first he must survive.
