A Rumanian fighter pilot, Ion Galea, whom I've met while back, had a logbook for his dog. He used to tell to younger airmen: "even my dog has more flying hours than you and I can prove it!" :D

13.(Z)/JG 5 socalled "Dackelstaffel", the Staffelkapitän OLtn. Felix Maria Brandis own two Dackel and they where with him and his gunner on "Feindflüge". Also other Flugzeugführer at the 13. own Dackel and at least one of the small dogs where the reason for an deadly crash!
Can only remember that the Flugzeugführer was an Oberfeldwebel and the crash was in July 1944 or so.
