El Gran Duque

This is a compilation of 3 French graphic novels about German and Russian fighter pilots of World War II. specifically, it is the story of a German flying ace who is patriotic but not Nazi and of a female Russian pilot who is as good as the German. The story follows the ending of the war and the atrocities that were done by both sides and of the love affair that develops between the two pilots from just a few fortuitous meeting under less than ideal conditions. I am not a fan of war stories but this is a pretty good one. Because make no mistake, it is a war story and not a love story. Those of you who liked Battlefields will love this book.
