Re: Seeking name of pilot who landed at Brandenburg Gate

I did a terrible mistake: the Fuhrer´s pilot was Hans Baur and he was responsible for the Fliegerstaffel des Fuehrers (F.d.F) - A special unit for the air transport of other high-ranking German officials and heads of state from other nations.
Maybe there were some Fi 156 Storchs, Ar 96, Bf 108 and other machines available to the Special Squadron. I will suggest the book:
Hitler’s Squadron: The Fuehrer’s Personal Aircraft and Transport Unit, 1933–1945 by C. G. Sweeting. Brassey’s (http://www.brasseysinc.com/ index.htm), 22841 Quicksilver Drive, Dulles, Virginia 20166, 2001, 192 pages, $31.95 (hardcover).
Maybe we can find the name of the famous pilot...
Cheers

Adriano Baumgartner
