Pilots/aircrew with spectacles

Hi guys

Just flicking through Chris Goss' excellent Messerschmitt Bf109 book, when I noticed on pages 34/35 pictures of Fw Fritz Kahlmeier of 9./JG53, a bespectacled fighter pilot (sadly killed in an accident 11 May 1940).

This leads me to enquire as to other such short-sighted aircrew in the Luftwaffe and, indeed, in all air forces during WWII. Obviously there were others.

Looking forward to responses, please!

Cheers
Brian
