Shadow of the condor (trilogy)

Set during the Spanish Civil War, The Shadow of the Condor is an epic trilogy of war, aviation, adventure and romance against the backdrop of one of the defining conflicts of the twentieth century. As Spain becomes the testing ground for the military powers that will soon clash in World War II, two young men find themselves on opposite sides of history: Dieter von Moltke, an aristocratic German pilot flying with the Condor Legion, and Pedro Goya, a Republican mechanic who becomes a gunner in André Malraux’s legendary squadron. Their parallel journeys intertwine through aerial combat, loyalty, sacrifice and impossible choices, offering a deeply human perspective on a nation—and a generation—torn apart by war.
