Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
 

Can anyone help with names of surviving Luftwaffe Aces, I am particularly interested in those that served on the Western Front, who may have come up against Spitfires in combat.

Re: Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
 

Julius Meimberg fought (and claimed) his share of Spitfires and was still alive last I heard.

Thanks for the link, but wasn't the question about surviving?

Meimberg is alive (at least he was at Xmas) as is Rudorffer

Re: Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
 

Bob is alive, as far as I know. There is a picture of him with Hajo Hermann, Walter Schuck and other pilots in front of a preserved Me109 that was taken last year.
