Re: Old Bold Luftwaffe pilots meet in Speyer
Hi John,
Ernst himself tells always the story, that he - due to his tallness - was the wrong jockey in the aircrafts of those days. Normally he goes over it with a joke about smaller pilots:
"When you see a Bf 109 passing by without a pilot in it, than you can be sure it's Walter Schuck..."
Nevertheless, Ernst could manage his flights in a Bf 109 as well as in a Fw 190, but please don't ask me how comfortable he felt in them.
All the best,
Horst
