Re: Maj. Georg-Peter Eder-17 times shot down

Hi guys

Quite fascinating - I wonder why no-one has written his biography when he was obviously such a colourful character about which much is known? A task for one of our talented crowd, I would have thought?

Having just read the Gladych bio as suggested, by Leo (elknet.pl/acestory/gladych) can anyone confirm that it was Peter Elder who was shot down/damaged by his own defences on 8 March 1944?

Also, what is the story behind Gladych being grounded for "almost shooting down Churchill's aircraft" in 1943?

Cheers
Brian
