Re: Awesome D9 Ground Crew

Willi Heilmann (JG54) in his book 'Alert in the West' claims 200 of the ground staff were taken from the Gruppe and replaced with women . It would be assumed this was late in the war . He also claimed two pilots from another fighter wing were killed because the silk canopies had been removed from their parachutes to make underwear by women ground crew , only seen this in his book .

Re: Awesome D9 Ground Crew

Use "disgruntled" in a sentence: "Shortly after exiting his aircraft the pilot was disgruntled by the mysterious--and highly unwarranted--disappearance of his parachute."
