Re: The Curious Case of the NSFK Ace
Stig has hit the nail on the head with his comments. As far as I was aware the NSFK was formed to create air-mindedness among German youth with an eye to expanding the Luftwaffe to a wartime footing. Many Luftwaffe pilots gained their first flight experience with the glider training schools of the NSFK.
Aside from gliders, the NSFK also had small aircraft for powered flight training. Therefore a NSFK instructor with access to a combat aircraft, no less an Me 262, is truely astounding, almost incredible! Therefore my hope that someone will take an interest in delving further into Strübing's career. The best chance of that would be to rediscover Strübing's nephew, Detlof Mohr, who is by now in his 80s.
