Re: Erich Etienne-Nazi Polar Explorer
There are several references to Dr. Etienne in the following books:
Schwerdtfeger, Werner; Selinger, Franz. Wetterflieger in der Arktis 1940-1944 (Stuttgart: Motorbuch Verlag, 1982) ISBN 3-87943-854-4. - This book is a history of Wekusta 5 (weather recon squadron 5) which operated in the arctic flying up to Spitzbergen.
Vocke, Dr. Ernst. Die Wetterflieger (Zweibrücken: VDM Heinz Nickel Verlag, 2002). ISBN: 3-925480-61-7. - This book is mainly about the civilian weather flyers and has references to Dr. Etienne.
Kington, John A,; Selinger, Franz. Wekusta - Luftwaffe Meteorological Reconnaissance Units & Operations 1938-1945 (Bracknell: Flight Recorder Publications Ltd., 2006). ISBN 0-9545605-8-2. - received 2009? - This book is still in print and is in English. It contains 7 references to Dr. Etienne in the index. He appears in 2 photos.
Coincidently, it may amuse you that 35 years ago I was an weather observer in the arctic for over 2 years. At one point I was stationed at Alert, the most northerly station in the world.
