The book is broken down into 19 chapters, 2 Appendixes with other views of how Werner was shot down and a large reference file. Werner Voss was 20 years old when he took on 9 of Britain's top aces for 10 minutes. The book is as historically accurate as current information allows. In addition, there?are tidbits of information concerning men?he knew and associated with (i.e. Anthony Fokker; Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen; Ltn.d.R. Paul Wilhelm B?umer; Ltn.d.R Konstantin Krefft; Obltn. Erwin B?hme; Obltn. Karl-Heinrich Bodenschatz; Obltn. d.R. Guido Ludwig Scheffer; Ltn.d.R. Willi Rosenstein;?Ltn. Karl-Emil Schaefer; Ltn. Wilhelm Prien;??Ltn. Baron Carl-August von Sch?nebeck; Ltn. Gerhard Fieseler; and Ltn. Rolf Freiherr von Lersner.)

Here are some parting words from the men he flew against and?was associated?with:

- I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes . . . His flying was wonderful, his courage magnificent and in my opinion he is the bravest German airman whom it has been my privilege to see fight. - Capt. James B. McCudden, V.C., DSO and Bar, M.C. and Bar, M.M.
- Oh, if I could only have brought him down alive... He was equally a brave man and brilliant pilot and had the devils luck in not being killed three times instead of once... I take my hat off to Voss, he was the bravest fellow and the best scrapper I have ever met... - Arthur Rhys Davids, DSO, MC and Bar.
- The only Germans he (Major Edward Corringham Mick Mannock, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., (R.F.C) ever admired for their skill as pilots were Hptm Boelcke and Ltn d.R. Werner Voss.
- Manfred von Richthofen onlC0
