Re: Visits in Germany
Not a military pilot, but don't forget Charles Lindberg visited Germany and was given the royal tour by Goering himself and others. He came back to the US convinced the Luftwaffe would beat everybody and said so. He was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer and even spoke to the American Bund at a rally. He was not, of course, but was villified by Roosevelt and the pro-war Democrats, for this and it took him many years to put that behind him. This was part of the reason he went on those "civilian" missions in the South Pacific to teach P-28 pilots how to maximize their range.
