Flight Calculator, looking for family of previous owner
All:
At the end of WWII my father flew to Paris in a DC-3 and while his crew was waiting for their passengers they heard Messerschidt jets landing and the crew raced to the landing strip on bicycles to see these strange (to them) aricraft. They began talking to the German crews who flew them in and traded personal items. My father received a flight calculator (Dennert & Pape, Hamburg-Altuna Nov. 1940) with the name of the man who traded it to him written on it. The name is Fw. Heinick. I have long thought that it would be nice to return it to the Heinick family if I could locate them. If anyone had any leads on how to locate them I would be appreciative. Thank you, Jon Libby, Santa Cruz, California |

Re: Flight Calculator, looking for family of previous owner
hmmm...that's a tough one.
There is a site an organization in Germany (cannot remember the name), which has access to all the flight personnel and such. But ther could have been many pilots with that name ![]() Maybe someone else knows the name of the organization in Germany? mike |
