[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Dear friends,

From our historian point of view such falsified/fictional enhancement of FB's is rightfully disappointing and arousing suspicions.

But there might be others reasons why pilots/Bordfunker have altered their flightlogs: after the war several pilots tried to improve their chances for higher pensions, promotion in the new Bundesluftwaffe and/or starting a new aviation career by extending their FB's. I remember a letter of Wilhelm Modrow to his former Bordfunker Schneider where he asked for input from Schneiders FB to 'complete' his own FB because he wants to join a civil airline.

Whether (and how often) this was practized among other pilots I don't know, but it is another point of view in this subject.

Best wishes, Marcel
