Leo Etgen will become famous soon enough
Alfred Lindenberger - 28 September 1944

Hello

I cannot say with certainty that he was the fighter pilot with the longest career but as Vince points out he stands out from the other Great War pilots that went on to serve with the Luftwaffe and claimed victories in the second conflict by the fact that his were recorded later in the war as compared to others such as Generalleutnant Theodor Osterkamp and Oberst Erich Mix. Quite an impressive achievement considering the nature of the air war for the Germans at that stage.

Horrido!

Leo
