Thanks again. See you soon. Kind regards,

Hello Balazs,
I know the situation well, since I'm a historian and written my PhD about the Royal Hungarian Air Force in WW II too. More, than 99,5% of the RHAF's official wartime documents went missing, it is really hard to research this topic deeply and effectively (In many cases, I have more materials about specific RHAF topics, than the military archive, since I visited and asked 70+ veterans and hundreds of families and collected many documents from private hand). In Hungary, relatively few pilots were trained to Ju 87 and from them, no one left the RHAF and joined the Luftwaffe. As I mentioned before, I know few Hungarian pilots, who joined the Luftwaffe - you can read the biography of Lipcsey in my aces book, who scored 7 air victories with the JG 27 -, but there was not a similar pilot, like in that text. It that story is true, that fellow most probably got his entire training in Germany. But if only his given name known, it is impossible to identify him at the moment (as I said earlier - if this story is true at all).
See you soon,
Csaba
