Re: Pilots/aircrew with spectacles

My uncle, Major Dr. Albrecht Ochs, joined the Air Force in 1917 with a condition known in German as Schielauge, or amblyopia (sp?), which resulted in his being blind in one eye. There were also a couple of notable Luftwaffe pilots who flew combat after losing an eye.
