Any expert here of the Austrian AF before the Anschluss?

[Csaba B. Stenge]

Gentlemen,

Is there any expert of the Austrian Air Force, who has some info regarding particular fighter pilots, shortly before the Anschluss?

Thanks in advance,

[Nokose]

Hermann Buchner gives his service in the Austrian AF before his service in the Luftwaffe in his book "Stormbird". Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Michael

Thanks, Michael, but I am looking for a particular fighter pilot, not a general story or remembrances about the AF (that's why I need somebody, who knows the AAF's history pretty well).

His name is a bit hazy, but since he was an academy graduate Lieutenant, not a reservist, for an expert, no problem to identify him correctly.

Hello Csaba,
I recall that there was a 32 page article, incl photos, maps and colour profiles, in "Flieger Revue Extra 3, October 2003, on "Unternehmen Otto", written by Rupert Reisinger and Joachim Baschin.
