Liquor Flights
Interesting stories here.
They remind me of a story a former IV./KG 55 pilot told Dave Wadman and I some years ago. He was telling us about the unit's transfer form Dijon France to Minsk in May-June 1944 and that they stuffed all the aircraft with supplies. We assumed that he was describing transportation of critical items like mail, food and munitions to which after a roaring laugh replied that it was something FAR more important - booze!
I would assume that there were many such flights and cargos within the Luftwaffe - and other airforces - particularly on flights originating outside Germany from such places as France, Denmark, etc.
Cheers,
David
