	Adolf Galland (www.combatsim.com)
		Galland was a brilliant pilot, an exceptional marksman, and a top tactician, and able to marry these talents to the capacity to grasp the larger strategic factors involved in command of the Luftwaffe.
		Galland's chivalry is clear in his wartime encounter on the ground with Wing Commander (later Group Captain) Douglas Bader, the legless RAF ace.

	Adolf Galland review
		Adolf Galland, né en 1912 et attiré très jeune par les choses de l'air se distingua dès 1932 en établissant un record de durée de vol en planeur.
		Since the authors speak out openly when they find reason to question some of Galland's victory claims, or when their analysis point at some mistake conducted by Galland in the position as General der Jagdflieger, all the cases when they underline Galland's "real" victories and his very good qualities as commander are very credible.
		Adolf Galland was one of the most identifiable personalities of the Second World War.

	Alternate Views on Adolf Galland's WW2 Kills
		In return, taking pen in hand, Adolf Galland cynically slandered the young Belgian aviators, describing the flight of a squadron of eight Hawker Hurricane fighters (forty-eight fl, yellow and red cockades) attacked by he and his only wingman, Lt. Gustav Rodel, sole witness to the gold-plating of his general.
		Galland claimed to have shot down two of the runaways on the morning of 13 May 1940, the fourth day of the war in Belgium and a third Belgian Hurricane of a squadron of five, during the afternoon of the same day, the Belgian fighters never accepting combat despite their superiority in numbers.
		Furthermore, the leaders of formations had their points augmented in function to the total obtained by the pilots they led into combat -that was often the case with General Galland.
