[Adriano Baumgartner]

Hello Ian,

I met a German glider pilot in Brazil, who trained on Ju 88 by the end of the war (for the Nachtjagd), but was later "unemployed", since there was no fuel, etc...and seems to have flown the Bu 181 with Panzerfaust. At least, from what he told me. His name (Family) is Heinz. He do fly occasionally now, since he lost most of his eyesight, but Flight Instructors do carry him on the air and he do fly by the "pants", as we use to say...Unfortunately, I only met him twice and he did not informed me the unit he flew against the Russians, neither if he actually saw combat on that kind of Bird...He do lives in Jundiaí, São Paulo State.

Most sincerely yours,
Adriano
