Sharks Among Minnows by Norman Franks

Norman Franks explores the period during World War I when German fighter pilots were almost invulnerable to the enemy, a period when the Fokker Eindecker was the only plane capable of firing a synchronized machine gun through its own propeller.
Norman Franks has covered this period in detail, explaining how these early German fighter pilots achieved their kills, who they shot down and where, as well as covering their lives; for in most cases their lives were short. None of the early Fokker aces survived the war, bar one, and he died soon afterwards still serving his country. All were heroes and several of them died once they came up against 'sharks' of equal standing from the Allied side.
