Re: Subordinates' opinions of Hans Dortenmann;
I found Skawran's book to be very interesting, because it is one of the few books that touches on the subject of pilots' personalities.
However it left me with somewhat of an aftertaste, due to the typifications and classifications he does, and specially due to some of the terminology he uses.
Trying do correlate pilots' physique to their personalities, and to some extent to their "success potential", seems, well, "Third Reichish".
Nonetheless it is a valuable and interesting addition to anybody interested in the human aspect of the air war.
