Re: "only the best pilots..."?
Hi Max,
no problem, I guess that you can source the information overall as coming from the forthcoming book, 'The Nachtjagd War Diaries' by Drs. Theo Boiten (Red Kite, due for release May 2008). The points above will be expanded upon in the relevant sections of the book in more detail than what I've summarised above.
Cheers
Rod Mackenzie
PS - regarding the loss of ME453, there will be a very detailed description of the Defence of the Reich phase on 3-4 March 1945 (i.e. Ladbergen/Kamen RAF raids) in the forthcoming book.
